Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
730
Range 726–735
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a DB.
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.

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.
Smith had 5 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB198 through 5 games. He ranks DB198 through 5 games, down from DB82. Early, not a finished step down. He's 38 — older DBs usually lose work and upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
