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.

Golston had 9 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DL90 through 4 games. DL90 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a DL134 season. 2025 stopped at 8 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
