Coming off a real climb — DL62 to DL16 tells the story better than age; 2026 also ended early (1 games).

Young DL 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.
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Rodriguez had 2 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, finishing DL16. Finish path matters here: DL62 → DL16 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 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.
