Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Process residual (not a second production percentile).

Quick answer
BuyRoyals finished WR145 in 2026. Finish path matters here: WR213 → WR145 is a breakout, not a development pitch. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
