Team Intel: Set Your Best Fantasy Football Lineup

Drafting a strong fantasy football team doesn’t end your challenges for the season.

In fact, drafting a loaded roster might even add a challenge. Every week.

Or perhaps one guy you thought you could count on isn’t getting it done. And you suddenly need to figure out how to replace him every week.

Whatever your situation, the Team Intel page is ready to help.

Getting Started

Your Team Intel page works from the same live sync that powers your Draft War Room.

It’ll stay active and connected to your league’s site throughout the year. And you can navigate there via the button on your My Leagues page.

Your Team Intel page will feature your up-to-date roster for that team and help you set your best fantasy football lineup every week.

How It Works

You might have heard that our fantasy football projections are the most accurate in the industry.

We deliver fresh projections every week throughout the season, specific to that week’s matchups and team situations. And those projections will be custom fit to your league’s scoring settings.

But we use more than just that to recommend your best fantasy football lineup.

Upside (and Downside)

In addition to our weekly projections, you’ll find floor and ceiling projections for every player, every week.

That measures how poorly a player might do, if things just don’t go his way (floor). As well as what his ultimate upside could be (ceiling).

We also factor in that player’s consensus projection for the week from 35 other fantasy sites, to let you know what the market expects.

Powerful Algorithm Does the Work

What you’ll see on your screen is a simple display of your players in the order we’d use them, with a blue star next to the recommended starters for your fantasy football lineup.

What you don’t see is a powerful algorithm factoring in all the projections above. It doesn’t simply follow our weekly projections, but considers player upside and matchups in the equation.

It’s doing all the work you’d have to if you went and entered every player into our Who Should I Start tool. Leaving you with your best fantasy football lineup.

If you’re running multiple teams, this Team Intel page could save you hours every week.

What Else Do You Get?

On top of recommending your best fantasy football lineup, the Team Intel page features other info …

• The note icon next to each player shows you our weekly writeup for why we like that player (or don’t) this week.
• Hover over any player’s opponent, and you get that opponent’s strength-of-schedule rating for that position – to see how good or bad a matchup your player has.
• Shark Bites fantasy football news specific to the players on your roster.
• Injury Tracker that displays:
  • Practice participation
  • Injury notes
  • Player’s likelihood of playing

You can also add/drop players from your Team Intel roster display right from that page.
