Why this is the trusted set
These projections retain Lineup Beat's reviewed August 30 season stat lines only where a player also has one exact, current active roster match by normalized name, NFL team and position. There is no fuzzy matching. Eighty-one current players without that level of support are withheld instead of receiving a lower-confidence estimate.
The experimental v1.5 values are not used. FantasyGuru remains a private quality-control benchmark: its values are not copied, blended or used to tune individual players. Rankings are calculated directly from the retained stat lines for PPR, Half-PPR and Non-PPR scoring.
Current injuries and season sportsbook props are not incorporated. Available 60-second-delayed Week 1 markets are not season-projection inputs. These are projections, not guarantees; Week 1 and My Team recommendations remain disabled.
