Player values
FantasyCalc real-trade values are normalized into roster, starter, pick, and player-board context. DraftADynasty keeps the source visible and fails closed when values are unavailable.
methodology / model transparency
How the
board works
DraftADynasty turns public fantasy football data into scouting context. The point is to make the room easier to read, not to place bets, execute trades, or hide model assumptions.
Draft kit
The public draft kit ranks FantasyCalc real-trade redraft value into round-based tiers, then compares each player's value rank to Fantasy Football Calculator mock ADP. A positive gap reads as Value (the room lets them fall); a negative gap reads as Reach. A dynasty-vs-redraft lens flags players priced higher in dynasty. ADP is thin until draft season, so the board says so instead of inventing it.
Season phase
DraftADynasty reads Sleeper's NFL state to know whether it is off-season, pre-season draft window, a live regular-season week, or postseason, with a calendar fallback when that state is unavailable. Copy and league context change with the phase so a live week leads with your matchup and the off-season leads with dynasty value.
Title odds
League title odds are a model view from roster value and production context. They are a scouting signal, not a sportsbook price or prediction-market instruction.
Matchup odds
Head-to-head odds combine starter value, total roster value, title context, season points, and posted Sleeper matchup scores when those rows exist.
Prop watch
The props board uses player value movement and role questions to identify categories worth monitoring. It does not show live odds, lines, entries, or wagers.
Futures board
The futures page is a source-labeled static snapshot that translates title-market favorites into fantasy-football context. It will drift until a live provider gate is approved.
Draft game
The five-pick game uses a deterministic board seed and local result engine so replay URLs, board codes, and shared results stay consistent.
Limits
Sleeper data is public and read-only. Unofficial endpoints can fail or drift, so DraftADynasty treats them as model context and shows safe fallback states instead of inventing numbers. Nothing here is betting, wagering, DFS, prediction-market, legal, tax, or financial advice.
