Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

432

Range 525–613

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 ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Hold

Lawrence had 6 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, ranking LB116 through 5 games. He's 23 with a quiet recent trend — no red flag, no spike either. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
