Young DL with proof and a long runway.
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
HoldSanders had 7 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2025, finishing DL159. Only 10 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
