2025 rehearsal

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

This is not the real league. It is the rehearsal run against a season whose results were already known, and it happened before the briefing existed — so Muse Spark 1.1 was drafting from raw projections with no view of replacement level.

Chase projects 328.3 pts, 80 pts above pick 8, so early slot is worth a small bid while saving FAAB for playoff auction.

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

Jalen HurtsR1 · #5 · QB · conf 0.72full record
Taking highest projected scorer Jalen Hurts at 5 to lock elite QB production.
Closest call: Bijan Robinson (player_id 9509) with adp 4 and proj 308.1 - elite RB1 but 43 points less projected than Hurts and RB depth remains at 12.
Bijan Robinson proj_season_points 308.1 is 43.4 points lower than Hurts — value(s) not in DATA: 43.4
Ashton JeantyR2 · #12 · RB · conf 0.72full record
Best non-QB projection available fills starting RB need.
Closest call: Malik Nabers (11632) and Christian McCaffrey (4034) - Nabers proj 279.3 close to Jeanty and CMC adp 3 elite, but Jeanty higher projection and RB scarcity wins.
Drake LondonR3 · #21 · WR · conf 0.78full record
Best available WR Drake London fills 0/2 WR need with highest proj on board.
Closest call: Amon-Ra St. Brown (8112 vs 7547) - nearly identical 274.2 projection, and Josh Jacobs (263.3) for RB2 need, but WR value and 0/2 need wins.
A.J. BrownR4 · #28 · WR · conf 0.68full record
A.J. Brown is the highest projected non-QB available and fills starting WR need.
Closest call: Bucky Irving (11584) at RB with 248.1 points and ADP 8 was close for RB2, but Brown's 253.5 projection is higher and WR depth falls faster to Ladd McConkey 240.2.
George KittleR5 · #37 · TE · conf 0.62full record
Secure elite TE George Kittle now; RBs should survive to 44.
Closest call: James Conner (4137) - highest proj RB at 223.5 and fills starting RB need, but passed because F/G/H are RB-full and TE scarcity is steeper.
available proj_season_points: Kittle 208 vs LaPorta 182.4 (25.6 gap) vs Conner 223.5 vs Cook 220.2 (3.3 gap) — value(s) not in DATA: 25.6, 3.3
Chuba HubbardR6 · #44 · RB · conf 0.62full record
Secure RB2 with highest-projected RB available to fill starting lineup.
Closest call: Marvin Harrison (player_id 11628) with proj_season_points 234.8 for FLEX - higher projection but leaves RB2 unfilled and at risk to Team C.
roster_counts_by_team shows Team C has only 1 RB and picks at 46 and 51 before our next pick at 53, creating RB scarcity risk — value(s) not in DATA: 46, 51
Jameson WilliamsR7 · #53 · WR · conf 0.62full record
Best projected non-QB available for FLEX at 222 pts.
Closest call: Tony Pollard RB 5967 with 212 proj and ADP 49 as RB3/FLEX, passed because 10-point projection gap to Williams.
TreVeyon HendersonR8 · #60 · RB · conf 0.62full record
Taking best-available RB TreVeyon Henderson to fill 2 RB needs with highest ADP value left.
Closest call: DeVonta Smith (player_id 7525) with proj 210.7 and adp 56 - slightly higher projection than Henderson but passed because RB need is greater and Henderson has better ADP value.
Rashee RiceR9 · #69 · WR · conf 0.78full record
Best available non-QB projection at 69 is Rashee Rice to add WR4/FLEX.
Closest call: Travis Hunter WR proj 199 and Isiah Pacheco RB proj 191.8 were close, but Rice's 201.3 projection wins on value.
Travis HunterR10 · #76 · WR · conf 0.62full record
Best available FLEX-eligible projection is Travis Hunter at 199 pts, higher than any RB/TE/K/DEF on the board, and QB would be pure bench behind Hurts.
Closest call: Drake Maye (301.5 proj) was highest raw projection but as QB2 behind Hurts he adds no starter points; Zay Flowers (194.2 proj, adp 78) was close to Hunter but 4.8 pts lower projection.
Jakobi MeyersR11 · #85 · WR · conf 0.72full record
Best available non-QB by projection fills FLEX/WR depth.
Closest call: Rome Odunze (191.1) and Tyrone Tracy (180) were close; passed because Meyers has higher proj_season_points and WR depth has more PPR upside.
Kaleb JohnsonR12 · #92 · RB · conf 0.62full record
Taking best RB available to balance roster before forced K/DEF picks in rounds 13-14.
Closest call: Stefon Diggs player_id 2449 with proj 183.6 higher than Kaleb, but passed because Team E already has 6 WRs vs 3 RBs and needs RB for FLEX.
Will ReichardR13 · #101 · K · conf 0.62full record
pool narrowedNeed both K and DEF with 3 picks left, taking the highest projected points K now.
Closest call: Detroit Lions DEF (DET) with 138.01 proj points - slightly lower projection than K and K can be secured now while DEF still likely available at 108.
Baltimore RavensR14 · #108 · DEF · conf 0.95full record
pool narrowedNeed DEF with pool narrowed to DEF only, taking higher projected Ravens.
Closest call: LAC (Los Angeles Chargers DEF) at 130.96 proj points, passed because BAL projects 4.06 points higher.
C.J. StroudR15 · #117 · QB · conf 0.62full record
Taking C.J. Stroud as QB2 - highest proj_season_points available and only 1 QB on roster.
Closest call: Cooper Kupp (WR, proj 168.5) for FLEX depth - passed because WR room already 6 deep and QB2 saves FAAB for playoff push.
