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 ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Hickman had 9 solo tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB48 through 5 games. He ranks DB48 through 5 games, after DB41. The season isn't over. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
