Quick answer
WatchBonitto had 7 solo tackles, 3 sacks in 2026, ranking LB82 through 5 games. Through 5 games the rank is LB82, off a LB40 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
