Proven LB 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.

Quick answer

Buy

Phillips had 12 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB87 through 5 games. He ranks LB87 through 5 games, up from LB154. That's pace, not a finished season. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
