Player quality
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.
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Buy lowMetellus had 18 solo tackles, 0.5 sacks in 2026, ranking DB46 through 5 games. He ranks DB46 through 5 games, after DB70. The season isn't over. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
