Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

730

Range 724–734

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

Proven DL 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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Brooks had 5 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DL117 through 7 games. DL117 through 7 games is the running rank, next to a DL152 season. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
