How should I use the start/sit optimizer?
Add the players competing for the same lineup spot, choose the scoring week, and compare projected points, floor, ceiling, and reasoning before setting a lineup.

Example decision band: use the median projection for the first pass, then check floor and ceiling when roster risk matters.
Start/sit methodology
The optimizer compares players on a shared scoring scale for the selected week. Median projection drives the rank, floor helps identify safer lineup spots, and ceiling shows where boom outcomes can justify more volatility.
- Projection: expected fantasy points for the selected sport and week.
- Floor: lower-range outcome for conservative lineup decisions.
- Ceiling: upper-range outcome for upside or underdog roster builds.
NFL start/sit FAQ
Can I compare more than two players?
Yes. The tool accepts two-player decisions and larger bench decisions, then ranks every player by the same projection model.
Does this guarantee a lineup outcome?
No. It is an analytics tool for comparing projection ranges, matchup inputs, and scoring settings. Injuries, depth chart changes, and late scratches still matter.
