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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Combine ×1.01

    Athletic composite 6.6/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy

Umanmielen had 8 solo tackles, 3 sacks in 2026, ranking LB86 through 4 games. Through 4 games he sits LB86, up from LB163 — a climb, not a final rank. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
