How do I (re)save my roster(s)?
After loading, changing/modifying your roster run the Line-up Analyzer, at the bottom left, you will see options highlighted in blue, as to which "Roster Spot" you would like to save the current roster. Click on the desired “Roster Spot” and your line-up will be saved.

How do I work with the Flex option?
If your league doesn’t allow you to flex any additional players, simply leave the “Flex” boxes at each position empty. If you are allowed to start one additional player, click on the box next to where it says “Flex” at each position where you have the option of flexing a player from that position. For example, if your league allows you to flex one player from either the RB, WR, or TE positions, click on the “Flex” box under each position. The Lineup Analyzer will then recommend one additional player from these positions to be included in your starting roster. If you are allowed to flex more than one player, start by putting in the minimum amount of starters at each position that can be flexed and then click on the “Flex” boxes at each position you have the option of flexing a player from. For example, if you have to start at least 1 RB, 1 WR, and 1 TE, and can flex 4 more players from any of these positions, you would enter “1” for the starters at those positions and check each of those positions “Flex” box. Run the Lineup Analyzer to get the results and whichever position it recommends to flex a player a player from, add 1 to that positions starting number on the Lineup Analyzer page (if it recommended flexing a RB, you go back to the Lineup Analyzer page and then enter “2” for your starting RB’s) and click on all the applicable positions “flex” boxes again. Run the Lineup Analyzer again and it will give you another flex player. Repeat these steps until all your starting positions are filled.

When are players updated in the system?
The process begins Tuesday morning's, with system updates twice daily and ongoing changes up through Sunday. This includes performance, match-up and injury evaluations for each player and unit of the team. For information on how the application applies real time player updates and predictive analysis see our "About Us" Tab.

Why don't you give player information to backup your rankings?
Because of the depth of the analysis and the 'big picture' result, we cannot offer any one reason why a player is rated high or low as it's really the result of hundreds of calculations which culminate into the final rating and not a single figure. We do offer player notes (i.e. injuries) and of course you can personalize SMART Alerts for heads-up information on potential waiver-wire wonders and sleeper picks.

If I think there is a player status problem, whom do I notify?
Use our forum for questions and answers as we have staff experts that monitor the board from 7am to 11pm MST, seven days a week. For any other problems direct them to our help page

How often should I check my Line-Up Analyzer recommendations?
Our users average three (3) visits a week anytime beginning Tuesday night up till your deadline for setting your line-up, of that particular fantasy league! Come back frequently as player updates change constantly.

The Trade Analyzer is blank; what should I do?
A roster must be saved first before the trade analyzer can work. This tool will then allow you to load in any trade scenario and analyze how it impacts your Starters and overall roster value!
