How the offseason review works.
Each player report checks measurable roster, coaching, usage, and availability changes. These checks add context; they do not change the published rank.
Inputs and scope
The review uses NFL roster files and prior-season usage statistics from public structured feeds. Reported targets, carries, games, and team changes come directly from those sources. The same rules run for every player.
Receiver reviews cover target competition, vacated targets, quarterback changes, and availability. Running back reviews cover backfield competition and vacated touches. Quarterback reviews cover competition, pass catchers, and protection. Every position includes team changes and prior-season availability.
What the statuses mean
A measurable change needs attention: a teammate with established volume arrived, the player changed teams, or the player missed meaningful time last season.
A teammate with established prior usage departed, leaving targets or carries available.
The review found no change above its reporting threshold.
Confidence describes whether the required roster and usage rows were available. The Offseason Review never moves a rank.
Coverage limits
Coordinator changes. The review does not have a reliable structured source for coordinator assignments. Head coach changes are included with the incoming coach’s prior seasons, win-loss record, and points per game relative to the league average. First-time head coaches are identified without a historical grade.
Camp reports and interviews. Beat reports, practice observations, coach comments, and player interviews are outside this structured-data review.
Contracts and holdouts. Financial terms are excluded because we do not have a validated link between those terms and fantasy outcomes.
Reasons for missed games. The review reports weeks played. It does not classify an absence as injury, role, or roster status when the source data cannot establish the cause.
