Depth/upside bet — LB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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
WatchWalker had 9 solo tackles in 2025, finishing LB185. Production trend is soft: LB177 → LB185 over the last two seasons. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
