Take Kenneth Gainwell over Jonathon Brooks. Gainwell is 41 spots higher in the canonical board, and he carries the cleaner risk-and-runway profile: lower risk (34 vs 40) and a stronger playoff runway (48 vs 29). His modeled median (144.0 vs 123.7) and high-end ceiling (187.4 vs 164.0) also translate to a more dependable fantasy floor and ceiling for this roster spot. Even with timing considerations, the role-command gap is smaller (34.8% vs 37.4%).
