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
HoldBailey had 18 solo tackles, 5 sacks in 2026, ranking LB4 through 5 games. At 23, he's in the typical LB peak window. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
