How WeeklyRoto ranks the board.
The product separates three ideas that are easy to confuse: the market’s estimate of game strength, how valuable that spot is for Survivor, and whether using the team now sacrifices a better future opportunity.
WeeklyRoto Score
The 0–100 score converts the team’s projected or current point spread into a simple strength score. For Winner Survivor, larger favorites score higher. For Losers Survivor, larger underdogs score higher.
Team Use Rank
A team’s selected week is compared with every other non-bye week on that team’s schedule. “#1 of 17” means the selected week is currently that team’s strongest projected use spot for the chosen contest type.
Winner grades
| Grade | Team spread |
|---|---|
| A+ | -9.5 or stronger |
| A | -7 to -9 |
| B+ | -5 to -6.5 |
| B | -3 to -4.5 |
| C | -1 to -2.5 |
| Avoid | Better than -1 |
Losers grades
| Grade | Team spread |
|---|---|
| A+ | +10 or larger underdog |
| A | +7 to +9.5 |
| B+ | +5 to +6.5 |
| B | +3 to +4.5 |
| C | +0.5 to +2.5 |
| Avoid | Favorite or pick’em |
Opening vs current
Opening lines are intended to remain frozen once captured. Current lines can change with the market. If a live market record is not available, WeeklyRoto shows the long-range projection instead and leaves Opening and Move blank rather than pretending the projection is an opener.
Why a line moved
Major movers can include linked reporting. A reason is labeled confirmed only when reporting clearly connects the news to the market move. Otherwise it is labeled likely or left without a causal claim.
