Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Higgins caught 3 passes for 59 yards in 2026, finishing WR39. WR12 slipped to WR39 last year; that's the warning. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
