Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).

Quick answer
BuyHeyward ran for 1 yards in 2026, finishing RB76. Finish path matters here: RB84 → RB76 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
