WHY THIS PROJECTION MOVES
Brian Thomas Jr. is tagged as WR3 rotation for JAX. The page uses top-3 WR projection volume for JAX, then layers in a tougher prior matchup with CLE ranked #8 vs WR and allowing 21.4 fantasy points per game so the public read is tied to this player's actual weekly situation.
The football logic is simple: role drives opportunity, opponent context shapes efficiency, and game environment affects how often a player can reach the stat that matters for fantasy and prop research.
ACCURACY FRAMING
In the 2025 hold-out test, the WinForge receiving-yards model explained 59% of the variance in actual WR receiving yards.
R² measures variance explained, not hit rate. Read the accuracy ledger and methodology for context.
UNLOCK THE FULL PRO VIEW
Pro adds the complete simulation view, market comparison tools, probability research, and portfolio sizing context inside the app. The public page intentionally shows only the median teaser.
