Range 1,257–1,368
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection He is out. The job is still his when he returns.
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.

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 ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchElliott had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB323 through 2 games. He ranks DB323 through 2 games, down from DB162. Early, not a finished step down. 2025 stopped at 5 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.
