Why this ranking

hand-set 2026-08-22

Cut to WR37 on 22 Aug against ADP 37 and ECR 26. Expanded 3 Sep. The substance is the cut against his OWN record: 127.6 over 14.4 games is 8.86/g against 12.82/g over 31 career games, a 31% reduction. Sleeper projects 164.4, well above, so this is the board's most aggressive disagreement among the market-matched rows. Markets have converged toward it since: ADP 35, ECR 36, consensus 29, Underdog 33 against ECR 26 when written. Lands WR37 exactly.

This is a view, not a correction — the model said something different and was overruled. See how it works.
