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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Lopez had 2 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL56. Path runs DL90 → DL109 → DL56 — 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.
