From DB184 to DB300 through 1 game is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

654

Range 641–668

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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    3 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

Watch

Valentine had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB300 through 1 game. He ranks DB300 through 1 game, down from DB184. Early, not a finished step down. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
