Proven LB 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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Bernard had 5 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB11. After a rough middle year (LB78), LB11 looks like a reset worth tracking. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
