A cost counts the chance he sits, from his status, and what he has meant to the team. 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.
