Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 466–531
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Core LB hold — the DVS blends recent production with the years still left.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Cherelus finished LB185 in 2026. LB175 slipped to LB185 last year; that's the warning. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
