Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 541–623
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — DB 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.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldMickens had 18 solo tackles, 2 INT in 2025, finishing DB182. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
