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.

Quick answer
Buy lowBaker had 20 solo tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 INT in 2026, ranking DB3 through 5 games. Current rank is DB3 through 5 games — DB20 was the last finished season. 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.
