Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

305

Range 250–361

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — DB 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 ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×1.02

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

Quick answer

Watch

Thomas had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB264 through 3 games. He ranks DB264 through 3 games, down from DB232. Early, not a finished step down. 2025 stopped at 9 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
