About these projections

What scoring do these projections use?

Yahoo scoring rules. Positions are a separate matter: they come from school roster listings and have not been checked against Yahoo or any other platform's eligibility.

How are the projections built?

Season estimates combine expected team production with player roles and projected usage.

Why do some receivers and tight ends show carries?

Twenty-two players take enough carries that rushing materially decides their fantasy value. One tight end's ranking rests mostly on his rushing. Their carries and rushing yards are shown so the ranking explains itself rather than looking like an error.

Why are there no target projections?

This board includes projected receptions and receiving yards; target estimates are not available.

How do player and team projections relate?

Player estimates add up to the projected team totals. Actual results may differ.
