How pickups are ranked

Every free agent is tried on your roster against the rest of your season: the lineup points he adds week by week, counting your byes and injuries, and what he's worth as a backup, since a handcuff can matter more than a better player who'd sit on your bench. The best 15 then get a full playoff-odds run, on the same simulated seasons as your current roster, so the difference is the pickup and not the dice.

  • The drop. For each pickup, the player whose loss costs your lineup least. Change it if you disagree.
  • Streaming. If you swap your quarterback, tight end, kicker or defense by matchup, those positions get this week's best options instead.
  • Best week. The week a pickup helps most, such as a bye he covers.

Questions

Does it consider waiver order or FAAB? No. It says what a pickup is worth to you, not whether your claim would win.

Can I see another team's? Yes: pick any team in the league, which helps when you're guessing what a rival will claim.
