99: elite creator
One number for how well Smith-Njigba has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified wide receiver; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 89 (#21 of 121).
Trend and schedule are shown for context but kept out of the number: over a handful of games they're mostly noise.
