Proven DB 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.

Quick answer
Buy lowBlackwell had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB200. Path runs DB213 → DB309 → DB200 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
