Explain a Player Ranking
explain_playerExplain WHY the 2026 draft board ranks a player where it does, factor by factor: projection, floor/ceiling band, boom/bust week shape, and the three separate ranks a board row carries — our model's own positional rank, the market's ADP, and the published blend between them — plus the edge between model and market. Also states what the projection does NOT model (injuries, camp news, schedule). Free, no key. Use for "why do you have there", "explain ranking", "what's driving 's projection", "why is a sleeper/bust". For a plain outlook or a verdict rather than the reasoning, use player_outlook.
