Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

87

Range 0–237

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.

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.

  • Combine ×1.02

    Athletic composite 7.1/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy

Muhammad had 11 solo tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB75 through 5 games. He's 22 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the DB role keeps opening up.
