Andy Smith's 7 measured adds for RotoBaller averaged 9.6 half-PPR points per add in week 8, the highest average among articles with completed outcomes.
What the Week 8 results show
Here is how to read the source comparison before looking at the full table.
Among articles with completed outcomes, Andy Smith (RotoBaller) led the week, averaging 9.6 half-PPR points across 7 measured adds. Michael Florio (RotoBaller) recorded the lowest average among measured sources at 8.6 across 10 adds. These are realized outcomes from one week, not a forecast or a measure of risk; a small number of measured adds can make an average swing quickly.
The highest-scoring measured add was Emmett Johnson (RB), with 22.8 half-PPR points for Andy Smith (RotoBaller). No measured recommendation was explicitly labeled speculative or a handcuff by its source, so there is no evidence-based “gutsiest call” to single out.
