Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

567

Range 548–595

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.

Young DB with proof and a long runway.

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.

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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