What is Projection in fantasy football?
A projection is our expected fantasy point total for a player in a given week.
How it works in your league
We build projections from role, opponent, roster and start rates and injury designation, then re-run them every 30 minutes. A projection is a midpoint, not a promise — treat a one-point gap between two players as a coin flip.
