Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent.
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
233
Range 115–350
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.
Smith had 4 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB96. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the DB role keeps opening up.
