Move from report to the next evidence layer

Public team evidence connects directly to player, matchup, research, and props tools.

Methodology and data boundary

Schedule facts come from the committed ESPN 2026 catalog. Team efficiency and betting records are 2025 historical context; returning production is a 2026 preseason roster snapshot. PFF grades and charting metrics also measure the 2025 season and remain historical evidence rather than a 2026 forecast. Player ranges use the same versioned custom half-PPR season model as the linked player pages. When present, the completed-game passing layer comes from a pinned cfbfastR/SportsDataverse generation and is postgame descriptive. No ATS, moneyline, total, or game-side prediction is inferred. Sources: 2027 CFB/projections/2026_wk1_matchup_cards.md; 2027 CFB/model_outputs/v2/data/custom_fantasy_current/half_ppr_6pt_td_20pass/usage_aware/rankings.csv.
