WR year-to-year rank has been jumpy; don't buy one season as destiny.

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.
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.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Johnston caught 51 passes for 735 yards in 2025, finishing WR30. He scored 13% more than his touches said he should. Expect range, not a smooth curve — recent finishes span WR30 to WR75. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
