Frequently Asked Questions

The Analysis Score is a sophisticated weighted metric that quantifies a player's likelihood of fantasy success. Our proprietary algorithm analyzes historical performance data combined with external factors including offensive line strength, coaching tendencies, target distribution, and projected game scripts. This creates a quantitative foundation for draft decisions, moving beyond subjective rankings to provide data-driven insights that help identify players positioned for breakout seasons or those facing potential regression.

Our Seasonal SoS uses an intuitive letter-code system that breaks down schedule difficulty across different time periods. For example, a code reading "VEAH" indicates: Weeks 1-5 Very Easy, Weeks 6-10 Average, Weeks 11-15 Hard. This granular approach helps you identify players with favorable playoff schedules or early-season streaming opportunities.

No, Las Vegas betting projections are displayed as supplementary information but intentionally excluded from our Analysis Score calculations. While betting odds provide valuable market insights, they aren't available for all players and represent speculative projections rather than historical data. Our methodology prioritizes verifiable, quantitative metrics to maintain analytical integrity and ensure every player receives fair evaluation based on measurable performance indicators rather than market speculation.

Not necessarily. Our recommendation algorithm weighs multiple factors including positional scarcity, performance projections, and upcoming schedule strength, but it cannot account for your specific draft strategy, league settings, or personal preferences. Think of recommendations as expert guidance rather than absolute directives. Generally, selecting from the top 5 recommendations provides excellent value, but don't hesitate to pursue a player you believe in who may rank slightly lower. Fantasy football involves both art and science—our tool provides the mathematical foundation, but championship decisions ultimately rest with you.

This reflects our advanced scarcity analysis, which identifies performance cliffs at each position. When elite talent becomes scarce, our algorithm prioritizes players approaching these drop-off points, sometimes elevating them above higher-projected players who remain widely available. This is why we recommend evaluating all top 5 suggestions rather than focusing solely on the #1 pick—you're choosing the best fit for your roster from a curated group of premier options at that draft position.

Our Analysis Score relies heavily on historical performance data, which creates inherent limitations for certain player types. Rookies entering the NFL lack the statistical baseline our algorithm requires, potentially undervaluing high-upside prospects. Similarly, players who missed significant time due to injury in the previous season may receive lower scores due to insufficient recent data. We recommend supplementing our analysis with additional research for these player categories, while recognizing that our system excels at evaluating players with established track records and consistent playing time.

Our 210-metric system (Elite tier only) evaluates players across comprehensive categories including historical performance, age impact analysis, positional tier assessment, target/rushing distribution, O-line impact scores, play caller tendencies, game script projections, strength of schedule across multiple timeframes, rookie tier analysis, and stat leader bonuses. This creates the most thorough player evaluation available, identifying hidden value and potential pitfalls that traditional rankings miss.

Unlike subjective expert rankings, our approach uses quantitative Analysis Scores derived from verifiable data. We identify performance cliffs through tier-based scarcity analysis, showing exactly when talent drops off dramatically at each position. Our methodology combines historical performance with situational factors like coaching changes, offensive line strength, and schedule variations that other tools often overlook. This mathematical approach removes bias and provides consistent, reproducible analysis.

Our tier system identifies specific points where player quality drops significantly, rather than using arbitrary linear rankings. This "performance cliff" analysis helps you understand when to prioritize positions before talent becomes scarce. For example, if elite quarterbacks have a dramatic drop-off after the 8th QB, our system highlights this inflection point, informing optimal draft timing that traditional rankings can't provide.

Yes, our analysis covers all fantasy-relevant positions including quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers, and team defenses. Each position receives specialized analysis tailored to their unique scoring characteristics and strategic considerations. Elite subscribers receive advanced metrics for all skill positions, while Basic users get core analysis across all positions with essential insights for every draft slot.
