    Start/sit questions, answered

    How do I decide who to start in fantasy football?

    Compare projected points for the week under your own league's scoring rather than a generic ranking. Half PPR and full PPR change the order at receiver and running back, and a six-point passing touchdown moves quarterbacks several spots. Add the players you are deciding between and the tool ranks them under the settings you actually play.

    What goes into the weekly projection?

    Each player's own per-game rates, the opposing defense's points allowed to that position, and market signals from player prop lines, adjusted for injury status and expected snap share.

    How close does a projection have to be before it is a coin flip?

    Closer than you would think. A full point of weekly projection is a clear call, and half a point is usually enough to decide on. Inside about two tenths of a point the two players are the same bet, and that is when to fall back on the tiebreakers: bust risk and boom chance, which are the odds of a week under half the projection and over 1.75 times it. Take the higher boom if you are chasing points, the lower bust if you are protecting a lead.
