Who gains
167 players with meaningful usage · sorted by chance of missing
Impact scores are small points on a fixed scale: his share of team usage (or role weight) times his chance of missing. High means the top 5% of 2017–2021 player-seasons, Medium the top 20%. The bold High badge appears only when a score is High and his chance of missing is at least 25%: 32 of 167 listed players this update.
Showing 167 of 551 players with meaningful usage (at least 10% of team targets+carries, or QB pass attempts) or role weight (at least the historical starter median, 18), ordered by the larger impact; capped at 160 plus all teammate-scenario players.
Descriptive only: how much of the team offense runs through this player, times the chance he misses. It is not a prediction of game results: when we tested whether team availability predicts game outcomes, it did not hold up.
Descriptive only: snap share, starter status, and how big the drop-off to the next man up looks, times the chance he misses. It is not a prediction of game results: offensive-line availability did not improve our predictions, and team availability did not hold up as a predictor of game outcomes.
Each impact line leads with what happens if he sits; the small number is the score on a fixed scale set from 2017-2021 seasons (High = top 5% historically, Medium = top 20%; lower shows as "Not a key role"). The bold High badge needs High and at least a 25% chance of missing. Hover or focus ⓘ for each player's math.

Practice trend: nflverse has one end-of-week practice status per player-week, not daily Wed/Thu/Fri reports, so this compares last game week's final status with this week's; we have not tested it on midweek reports. 2,519 past cases in 2022–2025 with this sequence (regular players with at least 20% snap share; 5,523 more in 2014–2021). It is context only: the chance of missing above comes from the frozen model. From our held-out research on 2014–2025 nflverse data.

Weekly scorecard
Logged counts every estimate in every update. Snap share adds its two model variants, which score the same players, and ranges add fantasy points and yards. Prediction log grading run Oct 16, 2026 06:23 PM ET; outcomes data Oct 16, 2026 06:22 PM ET.
No weekly grades yet. The first scorecard appears after the first week with logged estimates is complete.
Team contribution ranges
Model version v0: the frozen blind-test model (trained through the 2025 season; no weekly update has replaced it yet). The live model can change weekly only if it beats the current one on held-out recent weeks. The blind-test results for the frozen models are reported separately and are never mixed with live-model numbers.
Contribution-unit grades appear here once their first week is graded.
Likely range
Top 48 QB/RB/WR/TE by mid estimate (sorted high to low).
This week’s likely range: each curve shows where a player’s fantasy points (PPR) usually land in the game named on his chart, if he plays; not a single prediction. These range curves have no 2026 grades yet; graded estimates for other models are on the Prediction log tab.
SFSan Francisco 49ersBrock Purdy
Most weeks, Brock Purdy scores between 8.9 and 29.6 fantasy points (PPR). His most likely outcome is about 20.4. The taller the curve, the more likely that score.
How to read it ⓘA wide curve means a boom-or-bust week; a narrow one means a steadier floor.
80% range: low = the score he tops 9 weeks in 10 (10th percentile), typical = the middle outcome (median), high = the score he tops only 1 week in 10 (90th percentile). The curve is drawn through these three points for illustration only; its shape is not a modeled distribution. The range assumes the player plays (fit on played games only). Frozen range-of-outcomes model, prediction log update Oct 16, 2026 06:22 PM ET, re-scored for the same game as the chance of missing.
Risk-adjusted = (1 − 1% chance of missing) × typical 20.4 PPR points. A simple expected value: a missed game counts as 0 and partial games are ignored. Half-PPR and Standard are off for him: we have no receptions estimate for this same game, and we do not invent one. Use with your usual rankings; this tier adds injury risk, it does not beat expert rankings in our tests (2022–2025).
