After a rough middle year (RB101), RB84 looks like a reset worth tracking.

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Elite RB production now; the age curve is already in the score.

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.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.96

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Versatility ×1.02

    Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy low

Heyward ran for 43 yards and caught 3 passes in 2025, finishing RB84. He scored about 14% less than his touches said he should. After a rough middle year (RB101), RB84 looks like a reset worth tracking. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
