Depth/upside bet — LB 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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Org environment ×0.98

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Hold

Walker had 9 solo tackles in 2025, finishing LB185. Expect range, not a smooth curve — recent finishes span LB126 to LB185. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
