This is part of our secret sauce, so we can’t say too much. However, what we can say is that we take into account PFF+ grades, expected snap counts, strength of schedule, and teammate quality to compute a distribution of possible outcomes, factoring in both upside potential and downside risk to compile both our rankings and our projections.
Our projections are automated — generated by our data modeling. Our rankings have a bit of the human touch, using our best data modeling married with the sharp eyes and best judgement of our award-winning football analysts.
