Round one is weeks 1–14, points cumulative, and the top 2 of 12 advance. DraftKings’ own league table arrives with every sync, one per completed roster, and the section follows the contest filter and focus above. Points are the season so far from the weekly stat lines and keep moving while games are on; where the desk holds a draft’s full board the whole league is scored the same way, so place is live too. “vs line” is the cushion over 3rd place when you are advancing, and the deficit to 2nd when you are not. The slider steps back to the standings as they stood after each earlier week, rebuilt from the draft boards — DraftKings only ever gives the current table, so a roster without a board cannot be placed for a past week.
One row per completed roster, ordered by the season total of its counted lineups; one column per week that has kicked off, the week in progress included. Darker is more points. Click a roster to open it, or a week’s cell to open it on that week’s lineup; click a column heading (W1, W2, Total, Place) to order the rows by it. Trend is your league place after each week — hover it to read the place, that week’s score and the gap to the advance line week by week (the dashed rule is the advance line). Line ▲/▼ and Place ▲/▼ order the rows by the latest week’s change. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
Scroll sideways. Each card carries when it was drafted, its draft grade, where it sits in its 12-team league and on how many points, the construction it landed on, and all twenty picks (with each player’s points once standings are synced). Red letters beside a name — Q, D, O, IR and the like — are his injury designation from ESPN; hover it for the detail. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
Every roster-week ranked by how far it moved your gap to the advance line (top two advance). The swing is your week’s counted score minus how far the line itself moved — the line being the second-best of the other eleven teams’ season totals — so a big week can still lose ground when the teams around the line score bigger. It needs the whole league scored week by week, so only rosters whose draft board the desk holds appear. The week in progress is included and keeps moving. Click a row to open that roster on that week. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
For each week, the average counted lineup (best ball’s optimal starting lineup) of your rosters and of every league-mate in the same leagues, the week in progress included. League-mates can only be scored where the desk holds the draft’s board, so league-mates, everyone and the gap use those leagues only, like for like (the chart’s “your rosters” line is the same leagues); all your rosters also counts rosters without a board. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
The same rosters grouped by the seat they were drafted from — pick 1 through 12 in round one. Place, advancing and the league comparison are live wherever the desk holds the draft’s board, and otherwise DraftKings’ own as of your last standings sync; points are the season so far from the weekly stat lines, the number on the roster cards. Par is what an average entry does: 6.5th place, 2 of 12 advancing. Click a seat to focus the whole page on it. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
The same rosters grouped by their draft grade — or, with the toggle, by structure (Hero RB, Zero RB and the rest), with the same columns. Each row gives how many rosters are in the group, their average season points (the roster cards’ number: every loaded week’s counted lineup, the week in progress included), the median, and a small histogram of where those rosters’ totals fall — every histogram shares one points axis, and the tick is the book average, so a group that sits right of it is outscoring the book. Place and advancing come from the league tables (live where the desk holds the draft board). The grade is a process score against draft-day prices, so this is the first place the process meets the season; early on it is noise. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
One dot per roster: its grade score across, its season points up. Dots are coloured by archetype, the dashed line is a least-squares trend through the dots in view, the faint line is the book average. Click a dot to open that draft’s analyzer.
Two views of the same rosters. Best lineups lists every roster by season points with the stacks it carries — each quarterback with the pass-catchers from his team — their points so far, and how much of that counted in the lineup. By QB stack groups the rosters by the quarterback they are stacked with: how many, how many are advancing, average place and points, how deep the stack runs and who the usual partners are. A roster with two stacks appears under both quarterbacks. Points are the season so far from the weekly stat lines (the roster cards’ number); place and advancing are live where the desk holds the draft board, otherwise DraftKings’ table at your last sync. Click a lineup to open its weekly lineups, a quarterback for his results. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
Who the book is riding on and what they have done for it. Points is the player’s own season score, from each week’s stat line re-scored to DraftKings rules; Counted is how often that score made the counted lineup on the rosters holding him; Rank is where those points put him at his position among everyone who has played, with the gap to the rank he was Priced at beside it; Pts/gm divides his points by the weeks he has a stat line for, and Book pts is his points times the rosters holding him. The top 240 players by market ADP are listed whether you own them or not, so a big score at zero exposure shows up too; searching looks past the top 240 to the whole priced board. Click a row you own to chart every pick you spent on him. Draft prices, pick timing and stacking are in the same table under Draft performance.
Every player you hold counts for you, and every player held by an opponent you are fighting for a top-two spot counts against you — each weighted by how close that league is to the line, and by how often he actually makes the counted lineup. A league decided either way barely weighs; one sitting on the cutoff weighs fully. A player sits on one of a league’s twelve rosters, so holding him more often than one league in twelve makes you long him across the book and he lands on the Root-for side; holding him less often, or never, lands him on Root-against. Opponents’ rosters are known only where the desk holds the draft board. A player can appear on both sides at once: the two columns show the split and the row is placed by the net. Click a player for every roster behind the number and to open their lineups. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
For every remaining week of round one, how many of your rosters cannot fill a starting position: a lineup needs one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers and one tight end (the FLEX is ignored). A player is unavailable in his bye week and while ESPN lists him out, doubtful or on a reserve list — through its estimated return where it gives one, for the rest of the season where it does not. Questionable players count as playing. A quarterback with no injury listed who has not scored in his team’s last two games is treated as not playing. Short is fewer than the lineup needs; thin is exactly enough, so one more absence makes a hole. Click a cell to list those rosters. Follows the contest filter and focus above.
Each roster is classified on when it took its running backs and how many it carries. The bars show the share of your completed rosters that landed on each structure. The RB-axis row is the split between RB-heavy and RB-light builds.
Each strip is one roster read left to right by round, coloured by position. A dot marks a player inside a QB stack. Hover any pick for the player, click a strip to open the full list, or hit Analyze for the whole one-draft dashboard.
A process grade, not a projection — it scores the decisions, not how the roster will score. Four components: value captured against ADP, correlation quality, the price paid for that correlation, and how rare the shape is inside your own book. Analyze opens the full dashboard for one draft — its grade, roster, stacks, price drift and place in the book. Click a row instead to put the whole page on that one draft; grades are always scored against the full book, so drilling in never moves them.
Every roster is compared against every other on the players they share, weighted by where those players were drafted. Click a pair to list the shared players. The per-roster duplication figure this produces is what the strips and the differentiation component of each grade read from.
Counts across every completed roster in the current filter. Flat rounds are habits; uneven ones are decisions. Click a block to keep only the drafts that spent that round on that position.
Which seat you drafted from. The tick marks an even draw across all twelve slots.
In our backtests stacking pays and deeper stacks score better, with mid- and late-round mates the value zone. The cost side is what it takes to complete them: correlation bought with picks that fall to you is cheap, correlation bought with reaches is not. The Underdog columns are a historical reference from a different platform.
Share by real-life team. A flat distribution means the portfolio is spread evenly across teams; concentration is a thesis — concentration is what produces an outlier result in a large field. Capital weights each pick by where it was spent, so an early-round share counts for far more than a late one. Click a team to keep only the drafts holding one of its players.
The top 240 players by market ADP plus everyone you own outside that band, so a name you have none of still appears — at zero, greyed. Rows above 25% are highlighted, the exposure level our book-level testing treats as the cap. Click a row you own to chart every pick you have spent on him — one dot per draft, your pick against the price the market was charging that day. The dialog also offers to narrow the whole page to the drafts he is on, so the table then reads as who else rides with him. Searching looks past the top 240 to the whole priced board.
Every player in the current DraftKings best ball ADP range, matched against your portfolio. Sorted by draft cost and capped at the 50 most expensive, so the gaps that matter surface first. Rows inside the top six rounds are highlighted — where a zero is most consequential.
Every completed roster against the order you drafted it in — the one view here that can answer whether the book is getting better. Dots are coloured by archetype, the dashed line is a least-squares trend through the dots in view, and the faint line is the average. Click a dot to open that draft's analyzer.
Drafts grouped by day, so you can see whether a change actually took. The chart tracks the average grade per day on both bases: what the market said on draft day, and what it says now — a widening gap means the market has moved on your picks since you made them.
