Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
1,301
Range 0–1,301
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Listed as the lead with the touches — score stepped up for that role, not to the previous starter's price.
Depth/upside bet — DB 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
Buy lowMerriweather had 5 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB257 through 3 games. Current rank is DB257 through 3 games — DB285 was the last finished season. Played a short 2025 (7 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.
