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.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Combine ×1.00
Athletic composite 6.3/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyOdunze caught 44 passes for 661 yards in 2025, finishing WR39. He scored about 15% less than his touches said he should. Finish path matters here: WR49 → WR39 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
