Proven DL 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.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Paye had 2 solo tackles, 2 sacks in 2026, ranking DL58 through 4 games. DL58 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a DL64 season. 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.
