Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

2,770

Range 2,564–2,972

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven LB 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.

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.

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Buy

Werner had 17 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, ranking LB42 through 5 games. He ranks LB42 through 5 games, up from LB55. That's pace, not a finished season. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
