Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Org environment ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Sherwood had 2 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB97. LB14 slipped to LB97 last year; that's the warning. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
