Recalculated: today's model on the games through each week, valued at today's point in the season. It shows what each week's games did to his value, not the values Swindlr showed at the time.
Swindlr records its published values weekly from Oct 28, 2026; they'll appear here as a record beside this chart.

His projection (10.3 a game) doesn't clear a replacement-level lineman yet, so his value is all upside: the model's allowance for him becoming more than that, which it makes wider the further ahead it looks. It's the least certain part of any value. The projection weighs this season's 13.0 a game over 8 games against last season's 8.8 and his draft slot, giving less weight to last season when his role has grown, and it moves as the games pile up.
