Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 1,3941,536

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DB 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 ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Locke had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB175. Path runs DB92 → DB239 → DB175 — 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.
