Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
557
Range 511–604
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Thomas had 1 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, finishing DL26. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the DL role keeps opening up.
