Model read: John Bates projects 8 rec yds (median), 7.5 over the 0.5 line — the model leans over. Its yards projection is lifted most by his team's pass volume vs. last season (+2.2 yds) and pulled down by how many teammates are also drawing targets (-2.8 yds). Research signal — not a bet.

Graded against this week's 0.5 line, not the line each game was actually posted at — so it answers “how often would this number have cleared”, which is the question a bettor is asking today.

Research tool. ProprScore is an ABSOLUTE 35–89 scale (never higher): it measures how far our projection sits from the line relative to the outcome's own spread — NOT a betting edge or confidence. A quiet slate tops out low, and that is information. Testing found no betting edge on the main line.
