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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Quick answer

Buy

Andreessen had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB112. Coming off a real climb — LB174 to LB112 tells the story better than age. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
