Why this ranking
hand-set 2026-09-03
Market-matching call, 6 Aug: raised from QB8 to QB3. Expanded 3 Sep; the call is unchanged. 279.8 over 14.5 games is 19.30/g against his own 20.98/g across 58 games, so this stays below his record. Every market is at or above it -- ADP QB4, ECR QB3, consensus QB2.5, Underdog QB2 -- and Sleeper projects 326.0, far above. Lands QB3 exactly, still on its stated target after 28 days, which is why it survived the staleness review unchanged.
This is a view, not a correction — the model said something different and was overruled. See how it works.
