Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 693–709
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Howden had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB176. The arc is recovery: DB145, then DB194, now DB176. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
