Opportunity Ledger · Week 7

Whose opportunity changed

Target and carry shares this week against each player's own trailing baseline (Weeks 4-6). Share separates a player's slice from the size of the team's pie.

How this is measured
Target share: player targets / all team player targets in the game
Baseline: pooled share over Weeks 4-6 games played for the same team (n shown)
Change: percentage points, this week minus baseline
Snap % / RZ: offensive snap share as reported (baseline in brackets); red-zone targets or carries = plays starting inside the opponent 20, player/team (derived from play-by-play)
Filter: RB/WR/TE; at least 2 baseline games for the same team; movers need 5+ targets (or carries) this week or per baseline game

Absence Redistribution · Week 7

Where the work went when a starter sat

For each notable absence, teammates' shares in games without the player against games with him. Small samples are shown, not hidden.

How this is measured
Notable absence: RB/WR/TE whose team played in Week 7, who recorded no offensive snap or stat, and who held >= 15% of team targets or >= 35% of team carries in at least 2 earlier full games
With / without: pooled share over earlier FULL games the absent player played; pooled share over games the absent player missed (this week plus any earlier misses)
Partial games: a game he started but did not finish (injury or exit reported in that week, under half his usual snap share, or under 35% of his usual opportunity share) is its own bucket, excluded from both
Absence class: season-ending only when our reported-news layer holds an explicit season-ending report (two or more reports, or one wire.report article); injured reserve alone is multi-week; otherwise week-to-week
Status: attributed to the official designation; season-ending only when reported as such; we do not forecast recovery

Role Persistence Audit · Week 6 → Week 7

Did last week's change hold?

Every role change we flag gets a follow-up. Week 6 movers, checked against Week 7. Tally: held: 5, partial: 2, reversed: 3, unresolved: 2.

How this is measured
Claim record: before (baseline) / trigger (flag week) / after (follow-up week) / status, each with a stable claim ID and version
Mover: share change of 8+ percentage points in Week 6 vs Weeks 3-5 (same rules as the Opportunity Ledger)
Status rule: held: same direction and >= 50% of the trigger change; reversed: opposite direction or < 25%; partial: in between
Provenance: This first audit is RETROACTIVE: claims were reconstructed by the same rule from Week 6 data, not published at the time.

Fantasy Score Autopsy · Week 7

The week's biggest swings, in arithmetic

How far each player moved from his own season average, split into volume, efficiency, receptions, touchdowns and everything else. The parts add up to the swing.

How this is measured
Scoring: Standard: 0.04 per passing yard, 4 per passing TD, -2 per interception, 0.1 per rushing or receiving yard, 6 per rushing or receiving TD, -2 per fumble lost, 2 per two-point conversion, 6 per return TD. PPR adds 1 per reception.
Swing: Week points minus the player's average points per game in earlier games this season
Volume: (opportunities now - baseline opportunities per game) x baseline yardage points per opportunity
Efficiency: change in yardage points (0.04 per passing yard, 0.1 per rushing or receiving yard) not explained by volume
Touchdowns: change in touchdown points
Other: interceptions, fumbles lost, two-point conversions
Big play: this week's yardage points from the longest rush and longest reception when 20+ yards

Projection Audit · Weeks 6, 7

Projections as published before kickoff, against what happened

We store the projection exactly as it stood before each game and score it afterwards. Overall: 341 players, mean absolute error 5.45 PPR points, average error -0.71.

How this is measured
Projection: latest licensed weekly projection snapshot collected BEFORE the player's kickoff (collected_at shown)
Error: actual PPR points (house formula) minus projected PPR points
MAE / bias: mean absolute error; mean error (positive = players outscored projections)
Filter: players projected for 5+ PPR points; players who did not play are listed separately
Snapshot lead: 1.2 to 132.0 hours before kickoff
