Quick answer
Buy lowHicks had 9 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB123 through 4 games. He ranks DB123 through 4 games, after DB163. The season isn't over. 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.
