What Makes Our Power Rankings Unique?
Most fantasy football power ranking services are 100% automated. While this process is instant and provides quick insights, the data output has too many oversights that often lead to power rankings which do not reflect actual team strength. We combine automated tools with manual efforts to ensure your power rankings are tailored to your exact league settings, while minimizing common oversights that artificially boost or hinder a team’s projection.
How Does Manual Effort Help Power Ranking Accuracy?
By adding a human element to the league power rankings, the results become far more customized and logical. Based on personal experience using 5-10 different fantasy football power ranking tools, here are some of the common issues we’ve tried to solve:
Lack of Custom Scoring
- Nearly all automated league analyzer tools are limited to using standard, 0.5 PPR, or PPR projections to generate their power rankings. Any custom scoring such as PPFD, tight-end premium, etc. will not reflect accurately in the data.
- Fantasy Football Helper uses projections based on your exact scoring settings. Multiple sources are used to ensure there is some quality control with the projections to prevent extreme outliers.
Previous Results or Rest of Season (ROS) Projections Skewing Rankings
- Some power ranking tools solely base their results on what’s already happened in the league or player value on draft day. The issue with this concept is that player values are ever changing. As the season progresses, the strongest teams post-draft may not be strong anymore and success early in the season does not equate to success later in the season.
- For example, in one league, an owner drafted both Cooper Kupp and Jonathan Taylor. He started 1-3 and has one of the lowest scoring rosters through 4 weeks. Power ranking tools which base the rankings of current PF or record have this owner to finish dead last, despite the fact this team is expected to become much stronger week 5 and beyond.
- On the other end of the spectrum, some power rankings are solely based on ROS projections. There are numerous issues with this process, primarily being that it ignores what’s already happened. If it’s week 12 and a team has clinched a playoff spot but has many players on bye week 13 and 14, there’s a good chance this team will be ranked close to last in the power rankings, despite clearly being one of the top teams.
- Fantasy Football Helper emphasizes both current points scored and ROS projections (based on your exact scoring) to ensure a better balance of team strength and playoff odds.
Optimal Lineup Inaccuracies
- Fantasy football power rankings services typically project future scoring based on your optimal lineup which is good process. However, when done automatically, there are an abundance of oversights which create inaccuracies such as:
- Teams with backup QB/K/Def are boosted because they don’t take a 0 projection when their starters have a bye.
- Teams who stream QB/K/Def based on weekly matchups may get unfairly penalized due to rostering low projected players.
- Teams who have many players with byes remaining tend to rank lower in the power rankings because their projected points are lower.
- Fantasy Football Helper also uses weekly optimal lineup projections but assumes you will pick up the best remaining player if your team has no replacement player. If you roster 1 QB and they are on bye, your projection should not be 0, because most active players will choose a replacement from free agents/waivers. We ensure no teams receive a 0 projection for not having bye replacements currently on the roster.
Too much emphasis on Kickers and D/ST
- Some power ranking services assign a score to each roster position and take the average score determine the rank of each team. This puts way too much weight into kicker and D/ST which simply do not matter nearly as much as the other positions. When looking at 2023 projections, the #1 K or D/ST averages less than 1.5 PPG than the #12 K or D/ST (yes even the Cowboys).
- As previously mentioned above, many teams like to stream weekly K and D/ST which further skews the projection data.
- Fantasy Football Helper completely eliminates kickers and D/ST from the projections. Unless your league has some custom settings which drastically changes the projections, there is minimal benefit (if any at all) to including these roster positions in the power rankings.
Are Any Platforms or Scoring Settings Not Supported?
Unfortunately our power rankings only support Yahoo, ESPN, and Sleeper leagues. We also don’t support scoring for IDP, Head Coach, or Punters at this time.

For us to access your league information and analyze your league as accurately as possible, we need the following:
- Your scoring settings (or at least the ones you want in the projections)
- Starting roster positions
- League ID
- The league ID can be found in the URL. If you can’t find the ID, just send us the league URL and we will get it for you.
