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.

Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
Buy lowBaun had 7 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB7. The arc is recovery: LB2, then LB15, now LB7. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
