Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

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.

Player quality

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

  • 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).

Quick answer

Downs scored 107.4 Half-PPR points in 2025 (WR48). Age 25 WR with a quiet recent trend — wait for a clearer signal. 2026 projects more depth/flex than locked starter — price the role, not the name.
