Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 627–657
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — DL 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 ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyOkuayinonu had 23 solo tackles, 3 sacks in 2025, finishing DL51. Coming off a real climb — DL59 to DL51 tells the story better than age. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
