Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Process ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyTurpin caught 26 passes for 396 yards in 2025, finishing WR71. He scored 12% more than his touches said he should. Coming off a real climb — WR81 to WR71 tells the story better than age. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
