Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 1,3281,455

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DL in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Org environment ×1.01

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Watch

Barnett had 12 solo tackles, 5 sacks in 2025, finishing DL84. Production trend is soft: DL55 → DL84 over the last two seasons. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
