FAQ
How does the start/sit tool decide?
It compares the two players’ projected points in your scoring format, then adjusts for injury designations (questionable players are discounted, doubtful players heavily) and shows the matchup grade, tier and recent form so you can sanity-check the call.
Can I compare players at different positions?
Yes — useful for FLEX decisions. Projected points are on the same scale for RB, WR and TE. Comparing a QB with a flex player only makes sense in superflex leagues.
