Rankers scored in at least 6 weeks and 75% of all weeks. The skill score measures how much better than a random order a ranker's rankings matched how players actually scored: 0 is random, 100 is perfect, and most rankers land between about 5 and 35, and below 0 means worse than a random order. “vs consensus” compares it with the FantasyPros consensus, which few rankers beat, and “right when they disagreed” shows how often a ranker's own calls (pairs of players ordered differently from the consensus) proved right, where 50% is a coin flip.

Limitations

  • Rankings lock 5 minutes before each week's first scheduled game. News after the lock isn't reflected.
  • A small lead isn't automatically meaningful. Minimum sample gates limit small-sample claims; they don't establish statistical confidence.
  • DEF results don't carry over to other positions or scoring formats.
  • Past measured results don't establish future superiority.
v1Formula, lock policy, ties and missing-data treatment are in the methodology. Results use one methodology version per cohort; versions are never averaged together.Read the methodology
