The board, with what everyone actually paid.Our value is what the model says a player is worth in this exact
format; went for is the real winning bid. The gap is the whole
point — a negative number is a player the room let go cheap, a
positive one is somebody who got carried away. Undrafted players are
still listed, because a $12 value sitting on the wire is the first place
to look after an injury.

This is the part nobody else has.
Everyone else starts and sits on ESPN’s number. Ours adds the Vegas
implied team total, the game script implied by the spread, and our own
season-long read as a bounded tilt. What it deliberately will not
do is overrule ESPN on whether a player has a role — a near-zero
ESPN projection means inactive or buried, and those are gated out rather
than conjured into starters. Edge is ours minus
ESPN’s: the sign is the call, the size is how strongly.

Worth a claim?
Both sides are measured on starting lineups,
not on names. A deal only counts if it raises the points you can
actually field. $ out and $ in are the straight-face
test: lineup arithmetic will happily call a $45 player for a $3 bench arm
a win for both sides, and no manager alive accepts that.

Would they accept?
A manager trades when their season demands
it. Playoff odds dominate: a team that cannot make the playoffs
sells, and one that is close but flawed overpays. Draft disappointment is
the secondary nudge, because sunk cost makes people restless. Sellers and
restless managers are the ones who answer your message. Before any games
are played everyone reads neutral, which is correct rather than
broken.

All three prices are ours, not

Over/under paid (paid − board) is who overbid in the room,
valid immediately. Return (now − paid) is whether that bid
is being repaid, and only carries real information once games are

Slot against slot. The edge column is
your player minus theirs in that slot, on the number a lineup is actually
set on. It is where a week is won, and it is a better guide than the two
totals: one enormous mismatch is worth more than being slightly ahead
everywhere.

Two different problems, shown
separately.Availability is a
health question — whether he plays at all, from a designation that
may clear by Sunday to a stay on IR that will not.
Role is a usage one: nothing is wrong
with him, he simply is not the one getting the ball, and no amount of
recovery time changes that. Collapsing them into one badge hides the
distinction that matters most. Risk runs 1 to 5. These figures
are deliberately not folded back into the projection — ESPN
already prices designation to a degree, and penalising the same injury
twice would be worse than showing it plainly.

Latest reporting
A backup is worth what he inherits, not what
he projects. A third-string back scores nothing until the
starter limps off, at which point he is suddenly startable — and
whoever already holds him paid nothing for that. The share decays with
depth on purpose: the direct understudy captures most of a role, a
fourth-stringer almost none. Anything here with an empty owner is
unowned.

Adds, drops and trades only. Draft
picks and lineup changes are not transactions and are left out. A trade
shows both sides and which way each player went; an offer that was
declined shows as much as ESPN keeps, which is not the players.

In a budget league what matters is what is left to bid; in a rolling

Graded against a forecast that was sealed
first. Each week’s projections are written down the first
time the week is seen and never rewritten, because a forecast that could
be revised afterwards would quietly converge on the result and report
perfect accuracy. Nothing appears here until games have been played.

Disconnecting deletes the stored credentials outright. Signing out of
ESPN cancels them too, independently of us.
What the numbers mean
Rest of season
Total half-PPR points a player is projected
to score from this week to the end of the regular season — so 232
means about 232 points across the weeks left, roughly 14 a game. This is
the number that matters for trades and waiver adds; the start/sit figures
are for this week only.
Edge
Our projection minus ESPN’s. The sign is the
call, the size is how strongly.
Our tilt
How far our own season-long read moves the
consensus. Bounded to roughly ±35% so it can never invent a
starter.
Game env
Vegas implied team total against the week’s
average. Above 1.00 is a better scoring environment.
Game script
Effect of the point spread. Favourites run
more, underdogs throw more.
Gated out
Players whose ESPN weekly projection is near
zero, meaning no role this week. We decline to project them rather than
invent a starter.
Per week
What a waiver add would put into your
starting lineup each week — not the player’s raw
output.
Over replacement
Points above the best player freely
available at that position. The basis for every dollar figure
here.
Paid / Worth now
The winning auction bid, and what the
same player would cost in an auction held today.
Return
Worth now minus price paid — whether that bid
is being repaid.
Inherits
What a backup would be worth if the job ahead of
him opened. The share decays with depth: the direct understudy captures
most of a role, a fourth-stringer almost none.
MAE
Mean absolute error: the average miss per forecast.
Lower is better.
Bias
Average signed miss. Positive means a source projects
too high.
