Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Hansen finished LB172 in 2026. Path runs LB151 → LB208 → LB172 — 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.
