Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

273

Range 436–508

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a LB.

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 ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Watch

Lawrence had 5 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB121 through 5 games. From LB60 to LB121 through 5 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. He's 35 — older LBs usually lose work and upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
