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.
Quick answer
Buy lowNabers caught 29 passes for 329 yards in 2026, ranking WR18 through 5 games. Current rank is WR18 through 5 games — WR99 was the last finished season. Played a short 2025 (4 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
