Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.

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

Buy

Young projects for a 2026 role on BAL. Still early at 23; there's room left if the job sticks. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the LB role keeps opening up.
