A below-BE 55 in R5 drives cash gen to -$5,810 — his worst week of the season — and his average has slid from the low 80s to 76.8 at $436k. Salem is still a quality DEF but the price-to-form gap is widening with each week. Sell if you need the coins; the cash gen trajectory makes him a drag at premium pricing.
