Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Simpson had 19 solo tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT in 2026, ranking LB14 through 5 games. He ranks LB14 through 5 games, after LB94. The season isn't over. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
