Ranks by expected points.

Connect a Yahoo, ESPN, or Sleeper league in the Assistant Coach to highlight your players and see who's on the wire.

Overall excludes kickers and defenses — they don't compete for the same roster spots or score on the same scale as skill players. See the K and DEF tabs to rank them on their own.

Sorted by projected points, highest first.

Not sure what to do with the numbers?

Rankings tell you who's projected for what. The Assistant Coach reads them for you (your roster, your matchup, your league's scoring) and gives you a straight answer: who to start, who to claim, and when it's genuinely a coin flip.

Projections are statistical estimates only. Not financial or gambling advice.
