± this player's team lost snaps or targets we can see but can't yet split with confidence, so the ceiling is widened and the projection is lower-confidence than the number alone suggests
VOR value over replacement: season points above a 12-team replacement starter

Tiers group players of similar value. A new tier marks a projected-points cliff (a meaningful drop-off). Players inside a tier are roughly interchangeable, so only reach past a tier break when you need that position. Each tier header shows how many players it holds and how few points separate them. Where that span is wide, the rank numbers inside it are dimmed, because the projection genuinely can't tell those players apart and the order is a tiebreak rather than a forecast. Read the tier, not the integer.

Kickers and defenses are ranked on their own below rather than blended into the board above. They don't compete for the same roster spots as skill players, and their point scale isn't comparable, so mixing them in would just relocate them to odd-looking spots without adding real signal.

Projections, floor-to-ceiling and the consistency read (how tightly a player's weekly scores cluster around his own average, graded against his position) are generated by WaiverWire's own engine and blended with market ADP. Bye weeks from the 2026 schedule. Market ADP last refreshed Oct 20, 2026.
