Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven LB 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.

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 ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Warner had 5 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB13. Path runs LB13 → LB113 → LB13 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.

Top 20 Linebackers: Dynasty Value Score
Dynasty LB trade value doesn't reward the points board name-for-name — Ernest Jones jumps ahead of players who out-project him, while T.J. Watt misses the Top 20 outright. Linebackers ranked by Dynasty Value Score.
Top 20 IDP: Dynasty Value Score
Dynasty IDP trade value doesn't reward the points board the same way — a torn ACL keeps a high-end DL projection off this list, and five defensive backs crack a top 20 scoring leaves to linebackers. The Top 20 IDP players by Dynasty Value Score.
