Quick answer

Buy low

Golston had 2 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL55. After a rough middle year (DL132), DL55 looks like a reset worth tracking. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
