DB, age 27 — nothing loud in the recent trend.

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

4,630

Range 4,232–5,020

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.

Quick answer

Hold

McKinney had 12 solo tackles, 1 sack, 3 INT in 2026, ranking DB28 through 5 games. He's 27 with a quiet recent trend — no red flag, no spike either. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
