methodology

Every score is a weighted composite of seven measurable signals. We do not hide rankings behind opinion -- if you disagree with a pick, the factor bars tell you which inputs drove it. See the full algorithm on the methodology section or the live sleeper finder for an interactive version that updates as projections, injuries, and Vegas lines move during the week.
