Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.95

Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Evans caught 24 passes for 326 yards in 2026, ranking WR12 through 5 games. WR12 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a WR76 season. 2025 stopped at 8 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
