Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×0.98

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Apple had 1 solo tackles in 2025, finishing CB32. After a rough middle year (CB42), CB32 looks like a reset worth tracking. Played a short 2025 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
