Depth/upside bet — LB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Barnes had 5 solo tackles, 0.5 sacks in 2025, finishing LB204. LB136 slipped to LB204 last year; that's the warning. Only 5 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
