Method
- With him is a game he played, from the snap counts; without him is a game the team played while he was on its roster and he didn’t.
- Over expected is the team’s average a game over what the season’s ratings expected in each game, the same numbers each measure’s own page reads. “Averages” shows the plain numbers.
- Against the line is the team’s margin less the closing line’s, the market’s margin before kickoff, from nflverse’s schedules. A game with no line sits out.
- Why he’s out: the NFL’s week 8 roster.
