Playoff chances
Six teams make the playoffs. Seeds 1–5 go to the best records; the final spot goes to the highest points-for among everyone else. Odds come from 10,000 simulations of the remaining Week 7–14 schedule.
How it works: each remaining game is played out using every team's scoring average so far, pulled toward the league average so early hot and cold streaks don't count for too much.
The market
FAAB breakdown
Every paid winning waiver bid through Week 6, and what those players have actually delivered. Points only count while the player was in the buyer's starting lineup.
BradCupRhysGriffConnorTuckerDannyDewiWeaveTeeYSPowellHow the math works
- Spent adds up every winning waiver bid from Week 1 to Week 6. Failed bids, free-agent pickups and $0 claims are left out of the table entirely. Remaining budget is $100 minus spent.
- Started pts counts a player's points only in weeks he was in the buyer's starting lineup, from the week he was claimed onward. Bench weeks, and anything he scores after being dropped, don't count.
- Pts per $1 is started points ÷ FAAB spent. Example: $10 spent and 45 started points = 4.50 per $1. Managers who haven't spent anything show “—”.
- Best value buy is the single paid claim with the highest started points ÷ bid. Biggest splash is the largest single bid.
