Young DL with runway — the score still pays for the years ahead.
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Combine ×0.99
Athletic composite 2.3/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Caldwell had 5 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DL89 through 4 games. He ranks DL89 through 4 games, up from DL104. 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.
