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.

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

Baker had 38 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DB128. After a rough middle year (DB153), DB128 looks like a reset worth tracking. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
