Week 2, 2026 incorporates 1 completed current-season weeks. Training seasons: 2026. Defensive evidence is unavailable.

For long-term trades, treat rest-of-season and playoff values with more caution than one-week lineup decisions while current roles settle.
Availability follows current roster eligibility, official injury reports, and game-day inactive lists. “Expected · reports pending” is conditional participation, not an official healthy designation. Unavailable effective ratings are shown as a status; the opponent-neutral Overall rating is retained.
The normal weekly model run is scheduled for Tuesday at 2 a.m. Pacific, after Monday’s games. Publishing waits for verified source readiness and retries hourly when needed. Availability refreshes follow official report deadlines and game-day inactive lists, with additional checks near kickoff.

Overall is the opponent-neutral player outlook. This Week is the separately calibrated published weekly outlook with current availability; subtracting the two display ratings does not isolate an opponent effect. Historical starting values remain in use until verified current-season evidence supports an update.
