Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

574

Range 635–663

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 ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Hoecht had 2 solo tackles, 0.5 sacks in 2026, ranking LB150 through 4 games. LB150 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a LB218 season. Played a short 2025 (2 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
