WHY THIS PROJECTION MOVES

Derrick Henry is tagged as RB1 for BAL. The page uses team-leading RB projection volume in the current weekly board, then layers in a middle-tier prior matchup with IND ranked #12 vs RB and allowing 18.3 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 rushing-yards model explained 42% of the variance in actual RB rushing yards.

R² measures variance explained, not hit rate. Read the accuracy ledger and methodology for context.

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.
