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).
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Waddle scored 162.1 Half-PPR points in 2025 (WR23). WR, age 27.7 — the profile is quiet enough that patience is the right call. 2026 projects more depth/flex than locked starter — price the role, not the name.
