Range 311–476
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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
BuyYoung had 4 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB159 through 4 games. Still early at 23; there's room left if the job sticks. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the LB role keeps opening up.
