The edge case — what has to be true

Every belief is tied to a checkpoint: the exact data point that confirms or denies it, with its current value. Draft on the beliefs you share.

Strong pick if you believe…

  • Puka Nacua's late-2025 target share is the new baseline, not a blip

    Checkpoint

    target_share, last 3 games vs season (2025)

    30.3% last 3 vs 30.1% season (2025)

  • Puka Nacua's scoring over expected (xFP) is skill, not variance

    Checkpoint

    fpoe (actual minus xFP per game), season (2025)

    +4.3 pts/gm vs expectation (2025)

Poor pick if instead…

  • Puka Nacua's late-2025 target spike is small-sample noise that reverts

    Checkpoint

    target_share, last 3 games vs season (2025)

    30.3% last 3 vs 30.1% season (2025)

  • Puka Nacua's scoring over expected regresses to the xFP baseline

    Checkpoint

    fpoe (actual minus xFP per game), season (2025)

    +4.3 pts/gm vs expectation (2025)
