Range 1,200–1,399
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
BuyDowns had 20 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, ranking DB18 through 5 games. Age 22 leaves room to grow — if opportunity sticks. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the DB role keeps opening up.
