Free every week
  • Who the Experts Like: the most mentioned players and their average bid
  • The highest bid at every position
  • What everyone else would bid, and a vote of your own
  • Every earlier week of the season in full, tables and write-ups included
With the 2026 Season Pass
  • All 81 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 12 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
  • This week's numbers while you can still bid on them, every week for the rest of the season
  • 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.

Column Definitions
  • Expert Count: How many experts mention a player
  • Avg: Average of all expert suggested bids
  • Trimmed Mean: Avg minus the largest and smallest suggested bids (minimum count of 4 bids)
  • Community: Average of what signed-in visitors say they would bid, with the number of votes in brackets
  • Highest and Lowest: On each row, the expert who bid the most is marked $40 and the one who bid the least $5; a range counts as its middle
