Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

6

Range 289–392

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

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Ekuale had 4 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DT11. Path runs DT38 → DT3 → DT11 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Played a short 2025 (4 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
