Quick answer

Watch

McCollough had 3 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB218 through 3 games. From DB128 to DB218 through 3 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
