Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 310–408

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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

Quick answer

Hold

McCloud had 18 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DB212. Expect range, not a smooth curve — recent finishes span DB145 to DB212. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
