Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

505

Range 474–537

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 ×0.98

    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

Buy low

Yeast had 3 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB258 through 2 games. He ranks DB258 through 2 games, after DB311. The season isn't over. Only 1 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
