Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

664

Range 694–710

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Young DL with proof and a long runway.

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.

  • Combine ×1.00

    Athletic composite 3.7/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×1.02

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Smith had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DL165 through 5 games. Current rank is DL165 through 5 games — DL190 was the last finished season. Only 11 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
