The same player can require a different decision depending on your competitive window and the liquidity of the return.
A contender should treat David Njoku as a lineup purchase only when the available usage does not yet prove a weekly lineup edge and the tight-end edge exceeds a cheaper active alternative. Do not use the current profile to assume routes, targets, or a guaranteed scoring outcome.
A rebuilder should shop David Njoku for draft liquidity or a younger asset when another roster values the current tier more than the remaining career window. 2-week observed sample is a reason to set a bounded price, not to wait for an invented future role.

For the Chargers against Las Vegas, Week 2 3 targets fell from the prior usable row. The decision is whether that workload supports the current dynasty value. FairPlay's strongest scored input is opportunity (96), while efficiency is the main limitation. The usage record can test that read but cannot verify an external price or future outcome.
A second verified row that materially changes target volume and yards per target from Week 2 would test whether David Njoku's latest role is repeatable. Separately, a material efficiency change or a different market-proxy/production-model gap would require a new FairPlay read.

The search-rank proxy is 94/100 and the historical NFL production input is 92/100. These are separate model inputs, not verified trade prices or current-season performance.
Historical production, opportunity and efficiency are normalized within the TE statistical group. The market proxy uses the full player pool; career-window and draft-capital inputs use their own scales.
Normalized model input scores, not probabilities. The production model uses completed 2020–2025 NFL seasons. The current-season usage file is a separate evidence layer. The career-window and draft-capital scales are not empirical percentiles.
Historical NFL opportunity input is the strongest part of David Njoku’s current profile at 96/100. Historical NFL efficiency input is the clearest source of downside at 30/100. For trade decisions, compare that strength-and-risk mix with your roster timeline rather than relying on the overall value alone.
