Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
349
Range 256–441
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.
Combine ×1.02
Athletic composite 8.0/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyPonds had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB286 through 1 game. Age 22 leaves room to grow — if opportunity sticks. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the DB role keeps opening up.
