Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
430
Range 355–504
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.

Athletic composite 6.1/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldGolday had 5 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB147 through 5 games. Age 23 LB — the profile is quiet, not loud. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
