Weekly trend limitations
Are these projections or recommendations?
No. They are deterministic descriptions of completed-game performance patterns. They do not infer injuries, roles, or future outcomes.
How do recent-week and season views differ?
Weekly trends compare the newest active results with a short prior window. Season views retain every completed week and use cumulative context.
