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 Wentz sits

If a quarterback sits, the whole passing game moves down together: every receiver's range drops with the backup.

Where his work goes

Every pass catcher's number moves down with the backup, so there is no single winner to show.

About these numbers

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

Where do Carson Wentz's prop lines come from?
From The Odds API, which aggregates licensed US sportsbooks. Each of Carson Wentz'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 Carson Wentz's projection made?
The projection is the expected number for that stat this week, built from Carson Wentz'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.
