Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

Athletic composite 3.7/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
