RosterWatch Week 10 Matchup Tool Now Available
Welcome back.
This is a proprietary weekly tool provided by RosterWatch for our PRO community.
It is designed to be a decision-making tool for gauging the defensive opponents your fantasy players face. If you are new to this, our time-tested and most popular flagship in-season tool, the instructions for use couldn’t be simpler, and can be found below.
DO NOT RELY ON “FANTASY POINTS AGAINST” as your primary indicator for player matchups ever again. It is a flawed metric, as you’ll see, which will cause you heartache and struggle.
The rankings represented here are derived via a proprietary algorithm which takes into account not only traditional “fantasy points against” metrics (schedule-adjusted after 3 weeks of play), but also (and most importantly) weighted averages and medians of separate individual player and defensive-unit scouting grades for members of the 2024 unit that will be run-stopping, pass-rushing, or covering against the position in question, along with other analytic trends including projected game-script, game-flow/pace, sportsbook indicators, volume of total projected snaps and much, much, more.

INSTRUCTIONS:
To use the tool, think about your fantasy player.
Let’s say you roster Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase and would like to see how he matches up against the defense he faces this week.
First, look down the list and find the Bengals (Chase’s team). You will see that the Bengals’ opponent (OPP) is the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10, and there are four color-coded cells in the horizontal columns marked “OPP vs. QBs,” “OPP vs. RBs,” “OPP vs. WRs” and “OPP vs. TEs.”
These are the OPPONENT’S (in this case the RAVENS’) OFFICIAL ROSTERWATCH MATCHUP RANKINGS AGAINST THESE GIVEN POSITIONS.
They are not the rankings for the BENGALS, but rather, for the OPPONENT THEY FACE IN THIS GIVEN WEEK (the THE RAVENS). In the “OPP vs. WRs” cell for the Bengals, you’ll notice a big, blue ‘No. 1’. This means that Chase faces our best possible matchup for opposing WRs in Week 10 (the Ravens). This is a great indicator for fantasy managers of Chase. It is also a positive one for those thinking of rostering him in DFS contests.
Repeat the same process for other players on your roster as you are trying to decide which players to start and which to sit in season-long leagues. Also use it to identify which upside-plays to roster in DFS contests based on matchup.
With the launch of the online tool, you can now sort by any column: Vegas line, over/under, and matchup ranks vs. each position for easy reference. The Vegas lines are updated hourly for your reference and research. Please note that matchup ratings can change slightly through the week as lines and totals shift, or as injuries to key defensive personnel occur.
1 is the best (easiest) matchup, 32 is the worst (toughest).

I have to make a decision involving a Thursday night player. In a PPR who sits: Chase Brown, Tracy or Rhamondre? Also, without Dak, does CeeDee fall below Marvin Jr? Go Nation!

Have had Brooks on IR all year but with Chu ba turning into an actual RB, my outlook for him has faltered. Strictly thinking about next year on, do you guys prefer Brooks or Trey Benson?
Thanks in advance
