5 seasons of hindsight. A younger board has had fewer years for its calls to pan out, so don't compare its rate with an older board's.

Reading the board

Fit is the weighted average of the stats a player has. Turn up a stat he has no data for and that weight shifts onto his other numbers, so a missing stat never costs him. Scoring stays within position, so tight ends are measured only against tight ends.

Data is the share of your active weighting he has real numbers behind, relative to what's possible for his pool. A rookie is never measured against NFL usage stats he can't have yet. He is compared with other rookies' coverage, and a veteran with other veterans'.

vs proj and vs market place your rank next to the tool's own projected-PPG ranking and the fantasy market's consensus. Blue means you rank him higher than they do: your sleeper.

Guardrails. Efficiency stats are ignored under 250 snaps, and experimental ones start at zero. Hover any stat name in the board for what it is and how it is figured.
