Common questions

Are these confirmed starting lineups?

No. These are projected rotations, ordered by projected minutes per game for the 2026-27 season. Confirmed starting fives are only announced shortly before tip-off. Treat the top five here as who the minutes say should start, which is the more useful number when you are setting a fantasy roster in advance.

How is the order decided?

Purely by projected minutes per game. No editorial judgement is applied, so a player who has won a starting job in camp will not move up until the projection does.

Why does a player listed Out still appear?

Because the depth chart shows the expected rotation, and injuries change weekly. Anyone currently unavailable is tagged so you can see at a glance who is actually playable, and who is the next man up behind him.

What does the value column mean?

Total per-game 9-cat value against the draftable pool, the same number behind our rankings. Positive is above replacement level. It lets you spot a bench player on a bad team who is worth more to your fantasy roster than someone else's starter.

How often does this update?

Projections refresh several times a day from Sleeper, so minutes and injury tags move with them. The order you see is the current projection, not a snapshot from draft season.
