Week 8's recommended adds are still being measured.

What the Week 8 results show

Here is how to read the source comparison before looking at the full table.

Most recommended adds do not yet have complete outcomes, so a source comparison is not available. The table keeps unmeasured sources visible without assigning them a rank.

By source

Sources are ordered from highest to lowest average half-PPR points per measured add. Unmeasured sources appear last. Stashes are judged over three weeks on the season page.
