What are Position Scarcity Values?
When you fill out the Active Roster Spots under League Settings, you can view Scarcity Values. These show the value of the player based on their position. For example, catchers generally don't produce as well as first basemen, but since good catchers are hard to find, their scarcity value is higher than their calculated value. These rankings can be used while drafting to differentiate between two players with close values or to better evaluate trades. You can view these values on many pages by selecting the Scarcity Value under Display Columns.
What is Projection System v3.0?
Our third generation of projections incorporates a more detailed analysis including batting order, teammate strength, coaching style, and more. Projections are automatically updated daily along with manual updates as required.
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 Spring Training 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.
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 do I set my league settings for an auction league?
Set the number of hitters and pitchers to the # that are active. For dollar amounts, you can split those between hitters and pitchers as you see fit. The recommeneded settings (for a $260 league) are $175 for hitters and $85 for pitchers (65/35 split).
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.
How are Holds projected?
We are now projecting Holds though it's a work in progress due to its unpredictability. If you see anything odd related to Holds, please let us know.

What is the Own column?

My Player Active
My 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.
