Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

412

Range 495–554

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

Young DL 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.

  • Durability ×0.95

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Combine ×1.00

    Athletic composite 3.3/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Taylor had 3 solo tackles, 2 sacks in 2026, ranking DL118 through 4 games. Current rank is DL118 through 4 games — DL193 was the last finished season. 2025 stopped at 5 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
