Year-Two Breakout Board
Second-year players most likely to jump. Score = rookie-season usage percentile (70%) + draft pedigree (30%), multiplied by camp depth-chart tier.
How this board is built (and how it backtested)
Backtested on the 2018–2024 rookie classes with leak-free week-1 roster snapshots: held-out rank correlation 0.74 vs year-two fantasy points, and ~70% of top-5 picks hit — vs ~60% for the best naïve baseline. Vacated usage and efficiency looked tempting but failed the backtest; they appear in the why-line as context only. Depth-chart multiplier (1.25× first-string / 0.85× buried) validated separately: opening-day first-stringers beat the base score 1.38×.
