A cost counts the chance he sits, from his status, and how much he's been playing lately, so a player already missing for a while costs little: the team's recent lineups have gone on without him. ESPN doesn't keep past reports, so the chance each status means sitting is our estimate, not a measured rate. Once a line is up the forecast follows it, and the line has its own read on who plays; these costs move the rating number behind it. For insight and fun, not betting advice.
