Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

480

Range 583–622

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.

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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Smith had 5 solo tackles, 2 sacks in 2026, ranking LB102 through 5 games. He ranks LB102 through 5 games, after LB146. The season isn't over. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
