Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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.

Player quality
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 ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchMickens had 6 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB207 through 4 games. From DB183 to DB207 through 4 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
