Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent.
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
491
Range 458–525
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — DL 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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Edwards finished DL90 in 2026. Path runs DL78 → DL160 → DL90 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. 2026 stopped at 1 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.
