Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

635

Range 677–697

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — DL 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

    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

Buy

Jenkins had 3 solo tackles, 2 sacks in 2026, ranking DL72 through 4 games. He ranks DL72 through 4 games, up from DL102. That's pace, not a finished season. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
