Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection — not extra 0–10,000 components.

  • Durability ×0.95

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Process ×1.02

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Waller scored 76.7 Half-PPR points in 2025 (TE31). Played a shortened 2025 (9 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. He's 33.9 now, old enough that the decline risk is real — plan for a shorter peak window. Don't buy a bounce from the 2026 Engine line alone; it's a low-volume outlook.
