Quick answer
Buy lowNiemann had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB214 through 4 games. LB214 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a LB243 season. 2025 stopped at 5 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
