What are Rested Games?

A game where a player does not play the previous day is considered a Rested Game. Rested % is simply the percent of total games that are considered Rested. The assumption is players on rested days are likely to play more minutes so the higher number the better.

Will you be charging for memberships this year?

During the lockout, all membership features are free, but once the lockout ends, we'll charge for membership features. The amount will be determined by the length of the remaining season.

How are player values calculated?

Player values are based on the standard score statistic, where a value of 0.0 is the average for your league. Anything positive is better than the league average, negative worse. As a general guideline, a value of 2.0 and above for an individual category is very good, -2.0 and below, really bad. For a more detailed description of standard scores, please click here.

How often are the projections updated?

Before the regular season, we update the projections a few times a week and likely more often once the preseason games begin. During the season, projections are automatically updated nightly, and then manually tweaked twice per week (usually Thu/Sun and for major events). Injuries are updated multiple times each day.

What are Standard 8-Cat and 9-Cat?

Standard 8-Cat includes the following categories: pts, 3s, reb, ast, stl, blk, fg%, ft%. 9-Cat includes the same categories plus TOs.

How does Category "Punting" work?

In your league, if you ever decide to give up on a category, you can "Punt" it. In this case, the Values on the website will not include the punted categories. However, since others in your league still value that category, we show the LeagueV/League$ (value/dollars to the rest of the league including the punted categories) and the Punt+ (the additional value gained by the player through punting).

How does "Draft Selections Tracking" work?

Under Projections, you can use checkboxes to mark players selected during your draft. The selected players will last even if you leave the page and come back. Use the "Hide Selected Players" button to remove the players already selected, making it easier to see the players available. Keep in mind that the website times out after 30 minutes of inactivity so I would hit the "Get Rankings with Draft Selections Tracking" button every so often.

What are Ease Rankings?

Ease Rankings tell you how easy it is to score fantasy points against an opposing team. Ease Rankings are similar to player values but are for an entire team. The higher the Ease Value, the easier it is to score fantasy points against that team.

What is Skill Level?

Skill Level is the same as a Per Minute ranking with players less than 15 min/g removed. This allows you to better see players' Per Minute value without the lower minute players getting in the way.

What is the Own column?

The Own column contains a color if the player is owned by one of the league teams. Here are the color codes:

           My Player Active
           My Player Inactive
           Other Team Player Active
           Other Team Player Inactive

How do I create a balanced team?

Go to Team Analysis, and analyze your team. Ideally, all of your values will be over zero and similar in value. To get a better analysis, only include the regular starters of your team. Your bench should be strong in the areas where your starters are weak.
