Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

0

Range 260–369

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 ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Pennel had 7 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DT3. The arc is recovery: DT42, then DT6, now DT3. He's 35 — older DTs usually lose work and upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
