Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
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.
Bowers caught 24 passes for 312 yards in 2026, ranking TE5 through 3 games. Still early at 24; there's room left if the job sticks. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
