Recent form cooled from DB156 to DB279 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down; 2025 also ended early (11 games).

2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Butler had 8 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DB279. Recent form cooled from DB156 to DB279 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Only 11 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
