How the score works. The weekly table: 40% that week's projection,
30% the player's own form, 30% how generous the opposing defense has been to
kickers (points allowed, last four). Matchup rank reads 1–32 where 1st allows the most —
the matchup you want. The every-week tier is a season-long judgment, not a hot streak:
35% this season's projection, 35% the market consensus (our nightly board's positional order),
15% last season's per-game over games actually played — an injury-shortened year narrows the
sample, it doesn't poison the average — and 15% the average weekly matchup score. Once real
games are played, the weights shift toward current-season form. The top-3 streamers exclude that
tier — a player who's rostered in every league isn't a streamer.
