Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldWilson had 5 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB14. LB year-to-year rank has been jumpy; don't buy one season as destiny. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
