About this category
This category measures one tier of the weekly player pool, shown as a skill score where 0 is a random order of that tier and 100 is perfect: running backs ranked 13th through 48th, taken from the FantasyPros consensus order captured before kickoff, never from results. Within that tier we compare each ranker's own order of those players with how they actually finished, so a ranker isn't rewarded for getting the obvious top names right. This is the tier that decides most flex spots, bye-week fill-ins and waiver pickups, where the difference between rankers matters more than at the top.
A ranker must include at least 75% of the tier in a given week for that week to count, and needs six scored weeks to appear. The FantasyPros consensus is shown as the benchmark rather than ranked. Gaps of a point or two are common between good rankers, so look at the trend across weeks as well as the season average.
