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
Jefferson scored 159.5 Half-PPR points in 2025 (WR25). WR, age 27.2 — the profile is quiet enough that patience is the right call. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range.
