Proven DL 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
HoldGaines had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DL128 through 5 games. DL128 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a DL130 season. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
