2025 rehearsal
From the backtest — a completed season, run to shake the engine out

Projected is the season projection this league computed under its own scoring rules. Actual is what the player really scored across all 18 weeks. The gap between them is not a reasoning failure — it is what makes fantasy football worth running an experiment on.
Every pick, and why
Jahmyr GibbsR1 · #7 · RB · conf 0.86full record
Select Jahmyr Gibbs as the highest-projected available player and an immediate RB starter.
Closest call: Saquon Barkley was the closest call because DATA projects him for 302.5 points, only 0.8 fewer than Gibbs, and he also fills the 0/2 RB need.
Justin JeffersonR2 · #10 · WR · conf 0.88full record
Select Justin Jefferson to fill a starting WR slot with the strongest available non-QB season projection.

⚑ Jefferson leads the next available WR, Malik Nabers at 279.3 projected points, by 18.0 points. — value(s) not in DATA: 18

Josh JacobsR4 · #26 · RB · conf 0.82full record
Select Josh Jacobs to fill the second starting RB slot with the best season projection among available RBs.
Closest call: A.J. Brown was the closest call because his proj_season_points is 253.5 and he could fill FLEX, but Jacobs projects 9.8 points higher and fills the open RB2 requirement.

Terry McLaurinR5 · #39 · WR · conf 0.84full record
Select Terry McLaurin as the strongest value at pick 39 while preserving later opportunities to fill quarterback and tight end.
Closest call: James Conner was the closest call because his ADP is 39 and he could fill FLEX, but his 223.5 projected season points trail McLaurin's 234.7.
James CookR6 · #42 · RB · conf 0.76full record
Select James Cook as the strongest combination of immediate draft value, projected production, and RB depth.
Closest call: Kyler Murray was the closest call because his DATA.proj_season_points = 313.86 leads the available pool, but his DATA.adp = 92 indicates less urgency than Cook at ADP 43.
T.J. HockensonR7 · #55 · TE · conf 0.82full record
Select T.J. Hockenson to fill the open starting tight-end slot while preserving a nearly equivalent quarterback option.
Closest call: Brock Purdy was the closest call because his DATA projection is 311.72, but Baker Mayfield is only 0.22 points behind while Hockenson leads Engram by 6.9.

Matthew GoldenR10 · #74 · WR · conf 0.72full record
Select Matthew Golden as the best combination of projected scoring and draft urgency.

Rome OdunzeR11 · #87 · WR · conf 0.76full record
