Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 365–452

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Evans had 12 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB132 through 3 games. Current rank is DB132 through 3 games — DB297 was the last finished season. Played a short 2025 (7 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
