CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS: ADJUSTMENTS TO WEEKLY UPDATE STATS
Pittsburgh Offensive Line Grade (6.2) vs. Denver Front Seven (5.8) = 0.4 in the trenches
Denver Offensive Line (6.4) vs. Pittsburgh Front Seven (6.1) = 0.3 adjustments to running averages
Pittsburgh QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (6.5) + OL (6.2) - Denver F7 (5.8) - SEC (6.3) = 0.06
Denver QB Completion % Impacts (x.1): WR (5.6) + OL (6.4) - Pittsburgh F7 (6.1) - SEC (6.7) = -0.08
These adjustments will not always apply completely, such as in cases where QBs have high completion percentages already and get more yard rewards for strong adjustments instead and smaller (7%) percentage boost. Max 15%. WR collective grades increase .5 for 25+ catches in a week IRL in updates. Max OL/F7 difference for RB averages +/- 1.5yd ave.
