Example week · demo roster
Lean start: Drake London over Nico Collins
| Player | Projected points | Recent average |
|---|---|---|
| Drake London (Bench · WR) | 13.61 | 19.26 |
| Nico Collins (Starting WR) | 13.12 | 11.60 |
+0.49 projected points
London has a small projected edge and a higher recent scoring average in this sample. Both players can fill the WR slot, so the tool suggests considering the swap.
Illustrative demo data, not advice for the current week. Recent averages exclude games marked DNP. Projections are estimates, not guaranteed points.
From your roster to a weekly decision
A small edge this week
London leads 13.61 to 13.12 in projected points. A 0.49-point difference makes this a close call, not an automatic switch.
Recent form adds context
London averaged 19.26 points across five played games in this sample, versus Collins’ 11.60. That supports the lean, but past scoring is not this week’s forecast.
A swap that fits the slot
Both players are wide receivers, so London can fill Collins’ WR spot. Confirm availability and lineup locks, then make the final change in your league app.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the fantasy football start/sit analyzer free?
- Yes. Connect your league to compare starters and bench with weekly projections and recent scoring without Premium. If you only need to compare two players, the free Player Comparison tool works without an account or league import. Connecting Yahoo requires a free ffwrapped account.
- Who should I start this week?
- Choose your team in Start/Sit and review eligible bench players against your starters for the available week. Use the projection gap and recent scoring as context, then confirm player availability, the selected week, and lineup locks before making changes in your league app.
- Can I compare players in Standard, Half-PPR, or PPR?
- Yes. The free two-player comparison lets you choose Standard, Half-PPR, or PPR scoring. For an imported lineup, comparisons use the scoring and projection data available for your league. Confirm those settings when reviewing a close decision.
- How does the lineup analyzer recommend a starter?
- ffwrapped compares eligible starters and bench players using weekly projections, recent scoring averages, recent lows, and positional finishes. Premium player values can add context to close calls. A recommendation is a comparison to consider, not a guarantee or a complete lineup optimization.
- Is this the same as Rate My Team?
- Rate My Team grades your overall roster against the rest of your league. The lineup analyzer helps with this week’s eligible starter-versus-bench decisions. You can use both as your roster changes.
- Does it support Sleeper, ESPN, and Yahoo?
- Yes. Import a Sleeper league by username or league ID. ESPN supports email connection with a sign-in code through a free ffwrapped account, or manual league ID and season entry. Private manual imports require access credentials. For Yahoo, sign in to a free ffwrapped account and connect Yahoo to choose your league. Player comparisons depend on the available roster, scoring, and projection data.
- Will ffwrapped change my starting lineup?
- No. ffwrapped shows analysis. Make any lineup changes in Sleeper, ESPN, or Yahoo, taking player availability and your league’s lineup locks into account.
- What if there are no recommended swaps?
- You may already have the stronger options starting, or the available projections may not support a comparison. You can still inspect the roster’s projections and recent results. Missing projections do not establish that a player should be benched.
