Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Depth/upside bet — DB role isn't locked starter volume yet.

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

Merriweather had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB306 through 1 game. Through 1 game the rank is DB306, off a DB284 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. Played a short 2025 (7 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
