How LineupBeat Rankings Work
LineupBeat projections estimate each player's full-season statistical production. Rankings convert those projections into draft value by comparing each player with the expected replacement-level option at his position.
The default rankings assume a 12-team, one-quarterback Half-PPR league starting one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end and two flex players.
Replacement levels are QB13, RB37, WR49 and TE13. A player's ranking score is his projected points above that replacement level, plus any documented editorial adjustment.
Editorial adjustments do not silently change a player's statistical projection. They are reserved for circumstances such as unusual role security, durability risk or evidence that the median projection may not fully represent the player's draft value. Every adjustment must include a published reason.
ADP is not currently included in these rankings. Market-value labels will be added only after a verified and consistently updated ADP source is available.
Projected points stay frozen. A documented ranking adjustment can move a player's draft order without changing the projection it was applied to.
