Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven DL 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.

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
Buy lowHutchinson had 8 solo tackles, 4 sacks in 2026, ranking DL9 through 5 games. He ranks DL9 through 5 games, after DL2. The season isn't over. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
