How it works
- How does the start or sit calculator decide?
- It compares each player's projected fantasy points for this week (News Hub Fantasy's projections, in DraftKings full-PPR scoring) and starts the highest. A player on bye, or listed Out or on injured reserve, counts as zero.
- What do clear call, lean and toss-up mean?
- A clear call is 3 or more projected points apart, a lean is 1 to 3, and a toss-up is under a point, where either choice is defensible.
- Does it work for my league's scoring?
- The projections are full PPR. In a half-PPR or standard league, a pass catcher's edge shrinks a little, so a lean between a receiver and a running back is worth a second look.
- Can it set my whole lineup?
- Yes, for Sleeper and Yahoo leagues. Connect your league in Settings and My teams shows the best lineup for your roster, with every change explained.
