Range 1,462–1,619

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DL in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Franklin-Myers had 4 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks in 2026, ranking DL50 through 5 games. DL50 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a DL59 season. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
