Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

441

Range 401–480

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.

Quick answer

Watch

Williams had 4 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DB317. DB171 slipped to DB317 last year; that's the warning. 2025 stopped at 8 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
