Position-weighted roster
QB receives the largest share. Premium receivers, tackles, edge defenders, and corners matter more than specialists and low-volume depth roles.

What moves a team
20% results ceiling
Schedule-adjusted scoring and prevention can supply no more than 20% of the final score. Postseason games are tracked separately and capped at 18% of that results signal.
Verified-game recovery
Major-injury returns keep a temporary deduction until current-season games establish workload. Calendar time alone does not erase the uncertainty.
One public snapshot
The ranking and every team hub read the same published version. Matchup predictions begin with those roster inputs, then add game-specific context.
