Injury report

Both clubs’ full report, not only the names that touch his own workload.

New Orleans is without three other receivers, so more of the receiver targets go to Lance. Across from him, Cleveland has nobody out who usually covers receivers.

PROE

A yards prop is a rate times a volume. The rates live in Usage; this is the volume they act on: the offence’s per-game workload and his projected share of it.

Role

How much of the offense runs through him, and who is in or out around him.

Usage & opportunity

Roughly 70% of any prop outcome is opportunity, not efficiency. This is the section that predicts.

If Lance sits

If a receiver sits, the player who replaces him gets the routes, but the second receiver and the tight end gain most of the targets.

About these numbers

Where the lines and the projection come from. The long version is on the methodology page.

Where do Bryce Lance's prop lines come from?
From The Odds API, which aggregates licensed US sportsbooks. Each of Bryce Lance's markets shows the consensus line and, book by book, the Over and Under price, plus how far the line has moved since the books first posted it. Nuvela is not a sportsbook and takes no wagers.
How is Bryce Lance's projection made?
The projection is the expected number for that stat this week, built from Bryce Lance's recent usage and output, the role on the team, the injury report and the game ahead. The label beside each line names the source of its projection, Nuvela or Tank01. A player ruled out gets no projection.
