Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Process ×1.02
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Swift ran for 354 yards and caught 14 passes in 2026, ranking RB12 through 5 games. At 28, he's in the typical RB peak window. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
