Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Warren caught 30 passes for 213 yards in 2026, ranking TE6 through 5 games. He's 24 — that's peak TE age, not a wait-and-see profile. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
