From LB73 to LB120 through 4 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.

Traded from MIA to PHI (Nov 3, 2025).

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,340

Range 1,281–1,398

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven LB 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.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Watch

Phillips had 3 solo tackles, 2 sacks in 2026, ranking LB120 through 4 games. Through 4 games the rank is LB120, off a LB73 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
