Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection — not extra 0–10,000 components.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Versatility ×1.02

    Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
