Quick answer
Buy lowTaylor had 1 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, ranking DL164 through 1 game. Current rank is DL164 through 1 game — DL194 was the last finished season. 2025 stopped at 5 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
