Slot = where the engine takes him in a 12-team rookie draft (its order by the three-season value — not a market; no dynasty ADP is loaded) · Proj = mean Half-PPR season points, bar = 20–80 · 3-yr = expected value over replacement across his first three seasons, a season under replacement counting 0 (the rookie-pick history’s unit) · Dynasty = five-year balanced value · Capital = what that NFL draft capital × position produced 2012–2022: median rookie points per game (n) and the share with a starter season within three years · So far = points through Week 5
