Howard posted 48 in STK's 36-point home win over Richmond — clears his 41 BE, but 48 in a home blowout where his side put up 109 is uninspiring output when garbage time was on offer. Back-to-back modest scores (34 in R9, 48 in R10) after a strong 93 in R8. Cash gen is $1,886/wk positive and the role is intact, but he's drifting toward his floor rather than a ceiling. Hold — don't trade out a budget DEF who clears his BE, but he's not worth chasing.
