Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 20–180
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — LB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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
BuyLuketa had 11 solo tackles, 3 sacks in 2024, finishing LB136. Finish path matters here: LB184 → LB136 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2024 stopped at 10 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.
