One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
Buy lowBaker had 38 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DB130. After a rough middle year (DB156), DB130 looks like a reset worth tracking. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
