Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a DL.
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
Buy lowJenkins had 15 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2025, finishing DL76. The arc is recovery: DL57, then DL91, now DL76. He's 37 — older DLs usually lose work and upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
