Hot and earning it
Well above expectation, but with elite opportunity behind it (85th percentile or better in expected points). Not sells.

Touchdown luck
Touchdowns scored against the touchdowns an average player would expect from the same touches (rushing only for quarterbacks). Big gaps in either direction usually close.

How the targets are picked
Stats are half PPR through Week 6, among fantasy-relevant players (the top 36 QBs, 72 RBs, 96 WRs and 36 TEs by points) who played in Week 6. Expected points come from the ffverse expected points model on nflverse play-by-play data; snap counts from nflverse.
What makes a buy-low target?
A player scoring at least two half-PPR points a game below his expected points (xFP), while still getting real opportunity: an above-average share of expected points at his position and, outside quarterbacks, at least half his team's snaps. The volume that produces points is there; the points have not caught up yet.
What makes a sell-high target?
A player scoring well above his expected points (2.5 or more a game) on only modest opportunity. Efficiency and touchdowns that run ahead of volume tend to come back down, so his trade value may be at its peak.
What is xFP?
Expected fantasy points: what an average player would score with the same carries and targets, given where on the field they came and how far downfield the passes went. It measures opportunity, separate from what the player did with it. Here it is scored in half PPR.
Why are some hot players listed as "not a sell"?
When a player is far above expectation but his opportunity is also elite (85th percentile or better in expected points), the production is built on a real role. Those players are listed as hot and earning it rather than as sells.
