Team success score blends each contender's projected regular-season win total and division-title probability from the current season Monte Carlo. Stat composite compares each player only against same-position peers, so a QB's passing yardage is never compared directly to a WR's receiving yardage — only each player's standing within their own position group feeds the cross-position score.
