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 ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Hockenson scored 87.3 Half-PPR points in 2025 (TE26). 2024 stopped at 10 games; availability is the swing factor into next year. The 2026 line is modest; opportunity has to break right.
