Proven DB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
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.
Bland had 16 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB85 through 5 games. DB85 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a DB78 season. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
