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.

3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.
Pickens had 3 solo tackles in 2025, finishing DL223. Production trend is soft: DL142 → DL223 over the last two seasons. Only 2 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
