Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

470

Range 434–505

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — LB 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 ×0.95

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×1.02

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

Quick answer

Watch

Sanders had 4 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2024, finishing LB210. Recent form cooled from LB144 to LB210 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Only 3 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
