FC floor-to-ceiling per game (~10th to 90th percentile outcomes)
± this player's team lost snaps or targets we can see but can't yet split with confidence, so the ceiling is widened and the projection is lower-confidence than the number alone suggests
VOR value over replacement: season points above a 12-team replacement starter

Tiers group players of similar value. A new tier marks a projected-points cliff (a meaningful drop-off). Players inside a tier are roughly interchangeable, so only reach past a tier break when you need that position. Each tier header shows how many players it holds and how few points separate them. Where that span is wide, the rank numbers inside it are dimmed, because the projection genuinely can't tell those players apart and the order is a tiebreak rather than a forecast. Read the tier, not the integer.
