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.
Combine ×1.01
Athletic composite 7.6/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyHairston had 2 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB145. The last two seasons moved from DB193 to DB145 — that's the dynasty read. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
