As the season go on his stats will toward his ratings. At least that is how it works in my historical league. The development settings will affect the players ratings, not this setting IMO.
This can lead to very unbalanced trades IMO. I think it might be fun to use in a fictional game while hiding the ratings.

Individual ratings decide lineup order, OVR rating decides who’s in that lineup.
The option to use stats in scouting (located in the global settings) can potentially change the individual ratings during the season based on performance.
