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 ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchMustapha had 9 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB131 through 5 games. From DB97 to DB131 through 5 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
