The Programming Cheat Sheet was created so you can get quick answers to your fantasy start/sit questions with analysis already built in. For a detailed rationale, check out my latest content, including my weekly column on scheduling decisions.

What do the numbers mean?

All of my analysis for the week, from data points to matchup prospects to game-play predictions, is essentially represented by a number on a confidence scale of 1 to 10. The higher the number next to a player’s name, the more convinced I am that you should start him. The numbers are not a projection, just a confidence score to help you choose who to start with. All players affected for this week are here, so if a player isn’t listed, don’t start them.

To find a specific drive, use your search function – CTRL-F on PC and Command-F on Mac. If none of these options are available, or if you are using a mobile device, you can scroll by game. If you are always you’re not sure, just send a note on X.com (@daverichard), and I’ll take a look, time permitting. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #AskFFT!

If you’re reading this on Sunday, please refer to our weekly rankings, updated in real time.
