DL · CAR · #97
From DL126 to DL193 through 3 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish.
Picked by the Rams in 2021 via a trade with the 49ers.

Range 693–709
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Brown ranks DL193 in 2026 through 3 games. He ranks DL193 through 3 games, down from DL126. Early, not a finished step down. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
