Rankings Need A Job

A projection ranking helps with weekly decisions. A dynasty value ranking helps with trades. A production ranking helps explain what already happened. Mixing them into one list creates bad decisions.

Use projections for lineup and redraft decisions.
Use market value for trades and dynasty roster planning.
Use production leaderboards to validate or challenge assumptions.

Position Context Changes Everything

A top-12 quarterback does not carry the same leverage as a top-12 running back in every format. Good rankings account for replacement level and format pressure.

Compare players inside position before comparing across positions.
Use format settings before making cross-position trades.
Watch role metrics when a player is ranked higher than recent production suggests.

Questions answered

Are rankings and projections the same?

No. Rankings order players for a decision, while projections estimate expected output.

Should dynasty rankings differ from redraft rankings?

Yes. Dynasty rankings should include age, role runway, and market insulation in addition to production.
