How this works
This week’s projection (times the chance he starts, from our QB starter model), with the implied team total and the matchup.
League size sets who counts as available: rostered in under 50% (10-team), 35% (12-team) or 10% (14+ team) of ESPN leagues. Enter your Sleeper league to see only players nobody in it has rostered. Points follow your scoring format.
