Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

493

Range 460–526

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 ×0.95

    3 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

Leonard had 4 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB226 through 2 games. DB226 through 2 games is the running rank, next to a DB323 season. 2025 stopped at 3 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
