Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

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
WatchOsborn caught 7 passes for 57 yards in 2024, finishing WR143. He scored about 37% less than his touches said he should. WR59 slipped to WR143 last year; that's the warning. Only 7 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
