METHOD

How this desk works

LEDGER

Long-term means long-term

The long-term ledger lists players on Injured Reserve or expected out more than 2 weeks — week-to-week game-time decisions never belong here.

WATCH

Participation first

The watch carries verified practice participation (DNP/LP/FP) plus likelihood to play, graded with a stated confidence and sourced from beat reporting, team releases, and verified player social accounts (X, Instagram).

SOURCES

Sentiment is evidence

Sentiment is evidence, not vibes: a likelihood call must cite a beat report, team release, or verified-account post. Unverified aggregators and speculation accounts are never sources.

Public, published information only — no medical speculation beyond what teams and reporters have stated. Corrections follow the site-wide policy.
