Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

2,232

Range 2,116–2,422

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

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Johnson had 18 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB104 through 8 games. Current rank is DB104 through 8 games — DB136 was the last finished season. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
