The Lineup Cheat Sheet was created so that you could get quick answers to your Fantasy start\/sit questions with the analysis already built in. For detailed rationale, check out my latest content<\/a>, including my weekly Lineup Decisions column<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

What do the numbers mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All of my analyses from the week, from data points to matchup outlooks to game-flow predictions, are basically represented by a number on a confidence scale from 1-10. The higher the number next to a player’s name, the more confident I am that you should start him. The numbers are not a projection, just a confidence score to help you pick who to start.\u00a0<\/strong>Every relevant player for this week is here, so if a player isn’t listed, don’t start him.<\/p>\n

To find a specific player, use your search function — CTRL-F on PCs and Command-F on Macs. If neither of those are options, or if you’re on a mobile device, you can scroll by game. If you’re still <\/em>unsure, just send a note on X.com (@daverichard<\/a>) and I’ll give it a look, time permitting. Remember to use the #AskFFT hashtag!<\/p>\n

If you’re reading this on Sunday, please refer to our weekly rankings<\/a>, which are updated in real-time.<\/p>\n

Ready to get off on the right foot? Here’s how to approach every play for this week in non-PPR leagues — you can find our Non-PPR cheat sheet here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
