Why the model leans this way
Role first. Matchup second. Availability always visible.
A close RB2 decision on the current redraft board with distinct opponent strength.
Bucky Irving: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is neutral. Javonte Williams: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup is neutral.
Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 3 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.
