A game is a game he appeared in (a stored box-score line), not every team game. For offensive players, a game is an offensive appearance: return- or special-teams-only lines are shown in the log but don’t count toward offensive averages or the last 5/10/20. Recent-form numbers describe what happened; they aren’t findings or edges.
Last 5 games: 5 games, 2026-01-04 to 2026-10-19; 4 from 2026, 1 from 2025.
