DB · BUF · #23
From DB21 to DB169 through 4 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

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.

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.
Alford had 2 solo tackles, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB169 through 4 games. Through 4 games the rank is DB169, off a DB21 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
