Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

720

Range 745–750

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DB in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Hold

Hooker had 9 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB168 through 3 games. Current rank is DB168 through 3 games — DB164 was the last finished season. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
