Why this ranking

hand-set 2026-08-22

RE-STATED 22 Aug. The claim is unchanged and is the 6 Aug one: WR49 (ADP 49, ECR 42). What changed is that the row no longer delivered it. An override writes an ABSOLUTE season total onto a board that rebuilds four times a day, so the RANK it buys drifts as the field moves around it and nothing re-derives it -- this one had drifted to WR56 against its stated WR49. 118.5 is the total that lands WR49 on the 22 Aug board, solved against the other WRs jointly (six other overrides were lifted the same day, which moved the pool). IT WILL DRIFT AGAIN. fng.board_audit now parses the rank out of this reason and warns on every rebuild when the board stops matching it, which is the only reason re-pricing is worth doing rather than lifting the row.

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