Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Bosa had 3 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL18. Path runs DL7 → DL111 → DL18 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.

Top 20 Defensive Linemen: Dynasty Value Score
Dynasty DL trade value has a durability problem — a healthy Myles Garrett leads, but two of the points board's top 10 miss this Top 20 entirely. Defensive linemen ranked by Dynasty Value Score.
Top 20 IDP: Dynasty Value Score
Dynasty IDP trade value doesn't reward the points board the same way — a torn ACL keeps a high-end DL projection off this list, and five defensive backs crack a top 20 scoring leaves to linebackers. The Top 20 IDP players by Dynasty Value Score.
