Who our model thinks is most likely to score

The same anytime-touchdown probability each game's player board publishes: the player's share of his team's carries and targets, his own touchdown rate per carry and per target, and the team's recent touchdown rate, assuming he plays. Each name settles on its own.

Method

How the number is built

Each game’s projected points become a distribution over how many touchdowns that team scores. That total is then shared across the roster using each player’s measured share of his club’s scoring, taken from a walk-forward estimate that only ever folds in games played before this one. The two combine into one probability per player: the chance he scores at least once.

The list never sums to 100%. Defences, special teams and every player not named here hold the rest, and a touchdown probability is conditional on playing — a player who does not take the field settles void rather than losing.

What a CARD would have to clear
  • calibrated TD probability
  • current active/role evidence
  • current comparable TD price
  • settlement coverage
  • compatibility check
