Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.98
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyYoung threw for 1,549 yards and 11 TDs in 2026, ranking QB9 through 5 games. Through 5 games he sits QB9, up from QB19 — a climb, not a final rank. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
