WHY THIS PROJECTION MOVES

Greg Dortch is tagged as WR3 rotation for DET. The page uses top-3 WR projection volume for DET, then layers in a middle-tier prior matchup with NO ranked #12 vs WR and allowing 22.7 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.
