Guides
The guides shelf
The glossary, the draft guide, a beginner's read on Positional WAR, the FAAB playbook, the trade guide, the superflex guide, the dynasty guide, and the methodology page are all free to read right now. Each one defines a term the first time it uses it, so you can start anywhere and never hit a word the page assumes you know. The strategy guides are built as short courses: numbered lessons, a diagram for each idea, and boxes you can try for yourself.
Every word your league chat assumes you already know. PPR, superflex, FAAB, aDOT, and the rest, each defined in one sentence and then explained properly.
What you'll learn
The players the room is late on, and the ones it is early on, in every format we carry. Rebuilt nightly from our own values, projected points above a replacement starter, and real draft ADP.
What you'll learn
What Positional WAR actually means on a fantasy roster, in plain English. Why the best quarterback is worth a fortune in one league and almost nothing in another, and how to read the curve for your own.
What you'll learn
How much of your budget to bid on the waiver wire, kind of pickup by kind of pickup, when to spend it all, who to drop, and the mistakes that lose leagues in October.
What you'll learn
Every week the lowest scorer in the whole league is eliminated and their roster goes straight back on the wire. Chopped, guillotine, death and knockout are the same game, and it rewards a different draft board and a different waiver budget than a normal league.
What you'll learn
Leagues that start real defenders: linebackers, defensive linemen and defensive backs. How IDP scoring decides which of them matter, what repeats from one season to the next, and how to draft and manage them.
What you'll learn
How to judge a trade before you send it. Why value and wins are two different scales, what a calculator cannot see, the 2-for-1 trap, buying low without fooling yourself, and how to pitch a deal that gets accepted.
What you'll learn
How to play a league where everyone starts two quarterbacks. What the slot changes, how many quarterbacks to roster, when to draft them, how to trade the spare, and how TE premium stacks on top.
What you'll learn
When to contend and when to rebuild in a dynasty league, why the middle is the worst place to be, and how age, rookie picks and the calendar decide which moves are right for your roster.
What you'll learn
How fantasy playoffs work and how to play for them. What your playoff odds really mean, how much of your record is luck, whether to buy or sell at the trade deadline, and how to set a lineup when one loss ends your season.
What you'll learn
The methodology page: which engine projects a player, how the matchup and reliability adjustments work, what the confidence figure measures, and what none of it accounts for.
