Range 0–75
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Peak window — still valuable, but age is already shaping the dynasty price.
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 lowNiemann had 11 solo tackles in 2024, finishing LB166. The arc is recovery: LB87, then LB241, now LB166. Played a short 2024 (11 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.
