Quick answer
HoldWatson had 14 solo tackles, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB85 through 7 games. DB85 through 7 games is the running rank, next to a DB79 season. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
