      "severity": "note",
      "check": "Season-opening scope",
      "evidence": "The analysis tests shares from each team's first N completed regular-season games against the immediately following four games, not arbitrary rolling two-game samples. The dek, lead, methods, and body provide this qualification, and the article expressly excludes 2026 recommendations.",
      "recommendation": "Retain these scope statements in every title/dek and subject/preview unit; do not redistribute the headline as a rule for any two-game stretch or for 2026 players."
    },
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "Hybrid comparator labeling",
      "evidence": "At the two-game window, 206 of 1,145 player-windows used the earlier-season WR-mean fallback rather than an individual prior-season share. The dek and article define that fallback, so the complete content units accurately qualify the shorter title wording.",
      "recommendation": "Preserve the fallback language and continue calling the benchmark the prior-season/fallback or combined comparator in detailed references."
    },
    {
      "severity": "warning",
      "check": "No best-forecast inference",
      "evidence": "Raw two-game share had 4.91 pp MAE versus 5.50 for the registered prior/fallback comparator, but training-only shrinkage had a lower 4.59 pp point estimate. The lead and body disclose that no interval was supplied for the raw-versus-shrinkage difference.",
      "recommendation": "Keep the claim limited to raw share versus the specified prior/fallback comparator; avoid describing raw two-game share as the best available forecast."
    },
    {
      "severity": "note",
      "check": "Shared team-game dependence",
      "evidence": "The reported intervals cluster by player but do not separately account for receivers sharing team-game context. This limitation appears in the article limitations and the table and figure documentation.",
      "recommendation": "Retain the dependence caveat and do not present these average-error intervals as individual-player certainty or as exhaustive uncertainty estimates."
