How to read this board

Projected points: Expected fantasy output in the selected scoring format. PPR is the stored basis; half-PPR and standard are derived from projected receptions.
Matchup grade: A+ through D, based on how the opponent has defended this position and role — not on the opponent's overall record.
Movement: Positions gained or lost against last week's published board at the same position.
Confidence: How firm the ranking is. Low confidence usually means an injury designation or an unsettled role.

This initial build ships with demonstration data. Projections, rostered percentages and movement are illustrative and will be replaced when a live data provider and editorial backend are connected.
