How to read this. The projection is a regression fitted on 2005–2025: a weighted average of the last two or three seasons (three for QBs), age, the share of last season's points that came from touchdowns (which regresses), first- or second-round rookies drafted at the position by the player's Week-1 team, and a team change. Rookies are projected from draft pick alone (plus the targets their new team lost, for receivers). Backtested on 2015–2025 it ranks players better than last season's points every year for receivers and most years elsewhere — but the range column is the honest part: who finishes first is still mostly the season. No market or betting inputs are used.
