A receiver went over his line in four of his last five games. Does that make the next over an 80% shot? Not even close, and this lesson explains why. A solid NFL player props model starts with opportunity, meaning team volume, snaps, routes and target share, and only then asks what a player produces per chance. You will work a receiver from pass attempts to targets to catches, see why an expected 5.46 receptions says nothing yet about clearing 5.5, and learn why the full distribution is what you price. The point is to stop chasing hit rates and start asking what changed in the role, the matchup and the line.
