With the 2026 Season Pass

All 41 players the experts bid on this week, in six position tables: RB, WR, QB, TE, K and DEF
Every expert's bid side by side, all 6 of them this week, with the average and the trimmed mean
Why the Experts Like Them: what they said about each of the week's most mentioned players, in one paragraph each
Your leagues, your wire: connect your Sleeper or ESPN leagues and every player is marked available or taken, so you bid on players you can actually get

A link to every article, so you can read the reasoning yourself

The current week's tables open to everyone on Thursday, once waivers have run and the next week is on its way — too late to bid on them. The pass is for reading them on Tuesday, when the number still wins you the player.
