Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,987

Range 1,863–2,112

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

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Hold

Molden had 9 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB154 through 3 games. DB154 through 3 games is the running rank, next to a DB154 season. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
