Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven DL 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.

One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
Buy lowCarter had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL36. Path runs DL18 → DL58 → DL36 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
