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.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Stone had 64 solo tackles, 2 sacks, 2 INT in 2025, finishing DB12. Finish path matters here: DB36 → DB12 is a breakout, not a development pitch. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
