Depth/upside bet — DB role isn't locked starter volume yet.

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.

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

Quick answer

Watch

Forrest had 6 solo tackles in 2024, finishing DB245. Production trend is soft: DB188 → DB245 over the last two seasons. 2024 stopped at 6 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
