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 ×1.00

    Athletic composite 5.4/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

Quick answer

Watch

Burke had 10 solo tackles, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB117 through 5 games. Through 5 games the rank is DB117, off a DB109 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
