Model boundary
A schedule grade, not a projection.
The opponent's 2025 points allowed drives most of the rating. Site and rest add smaller adjustments.
Position-specific fantasy defense, current injuries, expected usage, weather, and betting markets are not inputs. Check those before making a lineup decision.
