Two players, same scoring format, every signal side by side. The draft-day question is never “who is ranked higher”. It’s which risk profile your roster needs.

What do these terms mean?
Nova Budget
Nova's projected full-season fantasy points, adjusted for how many games we expect the player to play.
VORP
Value Over Replacement Player: projected points above a freely-available replacement at the same position. Nova's core measure of real value.
Tier
Nova's value tier at the position. A tier break marks a real cliff in value, so Tier 1 is the top group, Tier 2 the next, and so on.
DNA
Week-to-week volatility grade from 3 seasons of game logs, graded against position peers so low scorers are not punished. The scale, steadiest to swingiest: S+ elite consistency, S consistent, B baseline, V variable, H high variance, X extreme boom/bust.
Floor (P10)
A low-end season outcome: only about 10 percent of simulated seasons finish below this. The safe-case number.
Ceiling (P90)
A high-end season outcome: only about 10 percent of simulated seasons finish above this. The upside number.
Tier-1 %
Nova's modeled probability he finishes as a tier-1 (elite) player at his position, from 5000 simulated seasons.
Divergence
Nova's disagreement with the market on a plus/minus 100 scale. Positive means Nova is higher than Vegas and the experts, negative means lower. Where the edge lives.
ADP
Average Draft Position: the average overall pick he is drafted at, from real drafts. The market's price on a player.
= Nova’s own model, the secret sauce. The rest are the market reference and raw stats Nova is measured against.
