Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

617

Range 584–650

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Young DB with proof and a long runway.

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.

  • Combine ×1.01

    Athletic composite 7.6/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Hold

Hairston had 7 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB188 through 5 games. 2025 stopped at 8 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
