How the weekly recaps work

Each week's recap hands out awards and grades how close every manager came to starting their best possible lineup.

How it works

Best possible lineup: the most a roster could have scored that week, filling every slot with the eligible player who actually scored the most (injured reserve left out). In Sleeper leagues it matches Sleeper's own max points.

Lineup accuracy: points started out of that best total; Left is the points left on the bench. The season figure is total points over total best, so big weeks count more.

Awards include the luckiest win (the lowest-scoring winner), the toughest loss (the highest-scoring loser), cost them the game (a loser whose best lineup would have won), most left on the bench, beat or missed the projection, bench star, pickup of the week, and the week's biggest riser and faller in the power rankings.

Med W / Med L is each team's second result of the week: a win or loss against the week's median score.

Keep in mind

The best lineup uses hindsight, so nobody hits 100% often. Projection awards appear only in weeks where every starter had a projection saved before kickoff.

When it updates

Written once every game of the week is final, and refreshed in later updates so stat corrections land.
