Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
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 ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

That's pace, not a finished season. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
