Young DB 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.

Quick answer
WatchRicks had 1 solo tackles in 2024, finishing CB46. CB32 slipped to CB46 last year; that's the warning. 2024 stopped at 2 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.
