If you create a Laravel boilerplate as a "starter" for other devs, and you're not in control of what THEY would later fill in Model's $fillable/$guarded, you may use forceFill()
$team->update(['name' => $request->name])
What if "name" is not in Team model's $fillable? Or what if there's no $fillable/$guarded at all?
$team->forceFill(['name' => $request->name])
This will "ignore" the $fillable for that one query and will execute no matter what.
