Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 919–953

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Elite DL production now; the age curve is already in the score.

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.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Org environment ×0.98

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

Quick answer

Watch

Onyemata ranks DL233 in 2026 through 1 game. Through 1 game the rank is DL233, off a DL36 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. He's 34 — older DLs usually lose work and upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
