Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Young DL with proof and a long runway.
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 ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyWest had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL105. Coming off a real climb — DL149 to DL105 tells the story better than age. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
