Depth/upside bet — DB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Simmons had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB296 through 3 games. DB296 through 3 games is the running rank, next to a DB352 season. Played a short 2025 (2 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.
