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.
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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
HoldTaaffe had 17 solo tackles, 2 INT in 2026, ranking DB52 through 7 games. He's 24 with a quiet recent trend — no red flag, no spike either. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
