How the lean works
A projection with guardrails, not a hot take.
Recorded fantasy scoring establishes the baseline. The latest snaps and opportunities move it within a limited range. The opponent's positional defense applies a second bounded adjustment.
An injury or practice designation changes the estimate only when it belongs to Week 9. Older reports never silently lower a current-week projection.
After both players finish, each page publishes the actual score and grades the original lean.
