How do I (re)save my roster(s) after making a change?
You can change the players on your rosters by going to the My Rosters tab and clicking on the name of the team you want to make roster adjustments to. Simply use the check boxes next to each players name and remove and/or add players.

How do I work with the Flex option?
If your league doesn’t allow you to flex any additional players, simply leave the “Flex” drop down bar set at 0. If you are allowed to start additional flex players at any position, set it to the number of flex player starters you can have. For example, if your league allows you to flex one player from either the RB, WR, or TE positions, set the flex option at "1" and make sure to set the max number of starters at each of those positions to one higher than the minimum number of starters. The Lineup Analyzer will then know to recommend one additional player from these positions when calculating your best starting roster each week. If you are allowed to flex more than one player, you can set the flex drop down bar to whatever number you need and increase the max number of starters at those positions accordingly. For example, if you start at least 1 RB, 1 WR, and 1 TE, and can flex 4 more players from any of these positions, you would set the flex option at "4", enter “1” for the minimum starters at those positions and the max number for each position would be 5. Be sure to click "Save" at the bottom before navigating away from this page when you make any changes to it!

When are players updated in the system?
The process begins Tuesday morning's, with system updates at any time there is a change in a player's projected status all the way to the game day inactives Sunday morning. 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!
