Range 867–889
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Young LB with runway — the score still pays for the years ahead.
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
BuyThomas had 3 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, finishing LB21. Coming off a real climb — LB34 to LB21 tells the story better than age. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
