Common questions
How does the start/sit call work?
Availability comes first: a player with no game or listed out scores nothing that night. Between players who both play, the one with more per-game value in your format starts, and we show the categories where each one has the edge so you can start for what your matchup needs.
Should I start the player with more games this week?
For a single night, start whoever plays and is better. Games left matters for adds and drops: a slightly worse player with four games usually beats a better one with two over a whole week. The games per week grid shows every team.
