Proven DL 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.

Quick answer
Buy lowCowart had 11 solo tackles, 2.5 sacks in 2024, finishing DL105. The arc is recovery: DL57, then DL125, now DL105. Played a short 2022 (10 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.
