Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

171

Range 408–485

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 ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Watch

Liufau had 17 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2025, finishing LB164. Recent form cooled from LB93 to LB164 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
