How to read these NFL projections

EdgeRanked’s pregame model combines team scoring with passing, rushing, receiving and team-defense outcomes, using the personnel and matchup information available when the update was built. Targets describe receiving opportunity; receptions, yards and touchdowns describe different receiving outcomes. A game total combines both teams’ scoring outcomes. Every update carries a stage and a timestamp, so you can tell an early-week outlook apart from a later pregame refresh.

Team scores, game totals and WR and TE fantasy outputs are available now. Quarterback, running back, defense and special teams outputs, along with margin and receiving numbers, are marked limited confidence this early in the season. A label describes how settled a number is, not a guarantee of accuracy, and a pregame estimate is never an actual game result.

Last updated . If personnel news lands after an update, that matchup is marked as awaiting a refresh until the next one is published.
