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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Uche had 9 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, ranking LB78 through 5 games. LB78 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a LB178 season. Only 11 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
