Core WR hold — the DVS blends recent production with the years still left.
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.

Quick answer
Buy lowVele caught 28 passes for 294 yards in 2026, ranking WR29 through 6 games. WR29 through 6 games is the running rank, next to a WR93 season. 2025 stopped at 9 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
