Why this value
Career window
Malachi Carter is age 26, with a career-window input score of 88/100 for WRs.
Market context
The search-rank proxy is 85/100. Production, opportunity and efficiency are projection-derived inputs, not measured NFL performance. Agreement among these inputs is not independent on-field confirmation.
WR value context
These WR projection inputs combine prior information; they are not observed NFL percentiles. Current-season weekly records are shown separately and do not change the published production window.
Player-specific inputs
Model value breakdown
Normalized model input scores, not probabilities. Projection-derived scores are estimates. They do not establish a measured NFL role, even when a separate current-season weekly record exists. The career-window and draft-capital scales are not empirical percentiles.
