Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Buy lowSmith caught 77 passes for 1,008 yards in 2025, finishing WR21. Path runs WR20 → WR30 → WR21 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
