Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.96
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Combine ×1.00
Athletic composite 4.0/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Quick answer
Buy lowIrving ran for 45 yards and caught 7 passes in 2026, finishing RB13. Path runs RB14 → RB33 → RB13 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
