Interim Week 6 update: 13 of 14 games completed. WAS at SF is pending and excluded. Week 7 spreads are early projections.
Research flags, not automatic downgrades. Review players, replacements and returns, then use Review / adjust to enter a positive or negative team adjustment. It affects upcoming spreads; rankings change only when you select that option. Your scenarios stay in this browser session.
Who qualifies: at least two meaningful players in the same group must be confirmed OUT / IR, or have two consecutive injury-related DNP reports in the game week. A later limited or full practice removes the DNP flag. Questionable, doubtful, a single DNP and routine limited practice do not qualify on their own. Returning to practice does not clear an OUT designation or activate a player from IR.
All-team report coverage
The latest-status feed does not establish daily DNP history or complete IR coverage. Consecutive DNPs and IR require dated, sourced evidence. Returning players can still be evaluated with a positive manual scenario. Missing reports and unmatched player IDs require review. LB/edge classification uses recorded snap positions and needs role verification.

Starting point values
Editorial starting estimates, not fitted or validated cluster coefficients. Values are the total group effect relative to healthy, not an amount per player. Subtract effects already reflected in DEPI. A return uses only the recovery not already in the statistical rating. Neither flags nor presets apply points automatically.

Review context
The same magnitudes can guide returns only when the impairment was embedded and normal workload is expected. Verify replacement quality and avoid overlap with QB effects. These values have not demonstrated an accuracy improvement. Research on position-weighted injury burden ↗
