DB · HOU · #11
From DB220 to DB269 through 5 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
324
Range 271–378
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.

Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Smith had 3 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB269 through 5 games. He ranks DB269 through 5 games, down from DB220. Early, not a finished step down. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
