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

Koonce had 5 solo tackles, 3 sacks in 2026, ranking DL24 through 4 games. DL24 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a DL68 season. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
