*****As a reminder, we always recommend using the Cheat Sheet in conjunction with the Vegas Tool once it is published Saturday evenings as Vegas almost always identifies a few value plays who aren’t necessarily on the sheet, but may provide excellent flexibility cap-wise. Sometimes we will update the sheet through the weekend as information comes in from injury reports, Vegas or elsewhere*****
HOW DOES THE SHEET WORK?
THE GOAL of the sheet is to reduce the number of players for the weekly slate to players expected to generate Positive Surplus Value (fantasy points over salary expected points). The player pool is narrowed down to players who meet a minimum number of trends.
THE TRENDS are a series of pass/fail threshold tests of position-specific stats predictors. Through the use of predictive models, we have analyzed every predictive metric we could for each position related to Vegas Indicators, Unit Matchups, Individual Matchups, Historical Performance, Game Script, Weather, and so much more.
Using a non-linear model, we’ve found BASELINES for each metric. For each baseline TREND TEST, if the player passed, he receives a [+1]. For example, using the Matchup Tool Rankings vs. QBs, the model found that an Opponent Ranking ranked in the bottom (9) teams allow on average +3.7 surplus points to opposing QBs. If the QB’s matchup is ranked worse than the baseline, the QB receives [+1] trend. In addition to positive trends, negative trends are also included. The model found that the top ranked pass defenses vs. QBs allow on average -5.4 surplus points.

Just got offered Zach Ertz and Dalvin Cook for Christian Mcaffrey and Greg Olsen my QB is Carson Wentz do I do it?? My other running backs I start are hyde and hunt.
Sorry whole point PPR
hell no.
Counter w/ Hyde or Hunt. If you don’t have a good TE, that is a solid deal.
Give up Devonta Freeman and Will Fuller for Fournette and ARob? DJ and and the two Denver backs are my other RBS.
Too close to call. You should be getting more. If not, wait and play your guys this weekend try to get a win. Then revisit next wk when ARob comes off BYE.
Don’t think I would do it
PPR trade:
Getting: Mixon
Giving: Fournette and Crowell
Rbs: Lindsay, Kerryon, R. Jones, Smallwood
Yes
Ppr trade question. My Barkley, TY &DLewis for his MThomas, Fournette and Yeldon.
My other rb’s: Mixon, Michel, DCook. Wr’s: Juju, MJones, Callaway, Godwin.
Thanks
I think so. Thomas would be a huge add for you
I was thinking that Aaron Jones & Cousins would make the DK cheatsheet this week. Hopefully you guys talk about them on the podcast.
Who is the better WR going forward? Fuller or Ridley?
Tough call I like both Fuller is great but seems to always be questionable Ridley going to get a lot of targets because Falcons D is garbage. If you could guarantee me Fuller’s healthy I’d pick him but in his career Fuller has missed a lot of games I might lean towards the healthier player personally.
Prob Fuller, pending his health. Pretty damn close.
PPR- Which 2- Ajayi, Lamar Miller, Phil Lindsay, Shady McCoy, or Tevin Coleman?
I could drop Shady and add Sanu or Taywan Taylor and play that player. I added Shady off waivers earlier this week. Really not understanding why Miller continues to be ranked high not healthy and passing game involvement varies a lot week to week. Thanks.
Fair points on Miller -you heard me bring those up in the TradeCast. Mainly the rest of the RBs on the team are trash, he gets decent volume, and it’s a bet on Watson and that offense in any given wk.
Prob Ajayi and Lindsay.
Byron,
AJ Green and Ingram for Davante Adams, Royce Freeman and one of these 2 Boyd or R Woods. 1pt ppr
I have Kamara and Mixon and Schuster
Trade my Lindsay for his Jeffreys or for his Baldwin? I have Barkley, Gordon, Mixon, Conner and Michel. My WRs are JuJu, Cooks, Sanders.
Soooo I’m trying to follow the TradeCast directive and get Fournette or Bell, but the owners in my league are being D-Holes…..
Bentley Ballers 3-1 in 10 team .5 PPR.
QB – Rivers and Bortles
RB – Gurley, J Connor, Lynch, Kerryon, Crowell
WR – Keenan Allen, AJ Green, E Sanders, Jordy, Marvin Jones
TE – Graham and ASJ
I made two offers to the Fournette owner to choose from: Crowell and Marvin Jones, or Lynch and Sanders….rejected
I also offered Marvin Jones to the Bell owner and got turned down.
Is it me who’s actually the asshole and going about this the wrong way?
Need 1 of these 4 for last flex spot, standard scoring: D Lewis, P Lindsay, K Stills or I Crowell.
I’m concerned about Minn v Philly this weekend. I think that the Vikings are do for a good defensive outing so I am thinking of fading Wentz for Bortles. What do you think?
.5 PPR Latavius Murray or Alex Collins
.5 PPR
Drop Agholor for Coutee, Sutton, or Montgomery?
Full point PPR, who has the most upside at TE? Heureman, Ellison, Gates, or Swaim?
Offered a trade: 1/2 PPR, 12 Team League
Kareem Hunt
For, Cam Newton and Jordan Howard
I lost J. Garoppolo, D Carr is my QB
