Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 693–709
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 ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Howden had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB231 through 3 games. He ranks DB231 through 3 games, down from DB195. 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.
