Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Quick answer
Fade riskAdams caught 60 passes for 789 yards in 2025, finishing WR8. He scored about 14% less than his touches said he should. He's 34 — older WRs usually lose work and upside. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Age makes this a fade risk in dynasty — win-now value only, don't pay a long-term price.
