Proven DB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
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
HoldLocke had 6 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB245 through 3 games. He ranks DB245 through 3 games, after DB245. The season isn't over. Only 8 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
