Young LB with proof and a long runway.

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

Ezeiruaku had 12 solo tackles, 0.5 sacks in 2026, ranking LB73 through 5 games. Through 5 games he sits LB73, up from LB117 — a climb, not a final rank. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
