- not tracked yet
No listed player changes his own workload directly. Everyone on these reports reaches him through the game — a matchup and a script, not his role.
Across both clubs, 7 ruled out and 2 questionable. A thinner defence argues for more possessions — volume, which is most of a yards prop — though it cuts both ways, since trailing throws more and leading throws less.
Counted from the two lists above rather than typed, so this can’t disagree with them. It reads the report; it does not predict who plays.

- 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.
Usage & opportunity
Roughly 70% of any prop outcome is opportunity, not efficiency. This is the section that predicts.
Share of the offence
Opponent defense
How San Francisco 49ers defends each position — fantasy points allowed per game, rank 1 = toughest — and what comparable roles have done against them.
By position
No games played yet this season, so there is nothing to rank a defence by.
