Quick answer
WatchShepherd had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL77. Recent form cooled from DL48 to DL77 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
