Quick answer

Buy low

Welch had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB264 through 1 game. Current rank is LB264 through 1 game — LB300 was the last finished season. 2025 stopped at 3 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.
