Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,833

Range 1,723–1,940

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DB 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 ×1.02

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

Quick answer

Hold

Hickman had 9 solo tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB48 through 5 games. He ranks DB48 through 5 games, after DB41. The season isn't over. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
