Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 257366

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DB 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.

Quick answer

Buy

Davis had 2 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB68. Coming off a real climb — DB202 to DB68 tells the story better than age. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
