Premium is enforced on our servers, not just hidden in the UI — so these badges reflect exactly what a free vs. paid account can actually do.
Player Rankings
Rankings for every supported sport, driven by the same valuation model the rest of the app uses.
-
Multi-sport rankings FreeMLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, and NFL rankings — roto category value for the category sports, projection-based value for NFL.
-
HOT / COLD form badges — with the reason FreeA hot or cold badge tells you why, not just that — the exact stats driving it (e.g. ".367 AVG, 6 HR over the last 15"). For MLB, NHL, NBA, and WNBA, badges come from fixed performance thresholds in each category, calculated for every player on an active roster — not just the top names — and appear during each sport's season. (NFL works a little differently — see below.)
-
NFL HOT / COLD — scored to your league FreeNFL is a points game, so form is measured in fantasy points per game over the last few weeks, with a separate bar for QBs, RBs, WRs, and TEs. Every signed-in account gets a badge on standard PPR. Link your ESPN league (Premium) and the badges recompute under your league's actual scoring — your PPR type, TD values, and bonuses — with the "elite" bar scaled to how your league scores, so a high-scoring league doesn't just make everyone look hot. "Hot" then means hot in your league.
-
Star ratings = category coverage FreeFor the category sports (MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA), a player's stars reflect how many roto categories they meaningfully contribute to — five stars is a true all-around contributor, one star a single-category specialist. NFL is a points league, so it swaps stars for a consistency score instead (below).
-
NFL consistency score + ceiling FreeA points league cares about weekly reliability, so each NFL skill player gets a consistency score — how close a bad week is to a typical week (higher = steadier, so a boom-bust flex reads low and a target hog reads high). Its ceiling (a big week's upside) sits right beside it, kept separate so a high ceiling never counts against a player's consistency.
-
Season / last-15 / last-30 windows + sortable columns FreeSwitch any board between full-season, last-15, and last-30-game views, and click any stat column to re-sort by it. A Games Played column shows the games a player actually appeared in versus how many their team has played (a straight appearance count for pitchers and NHL goalies, who don't play every game).
-
Combine categories FreeCheck two or more stat columns and the board instantly re-ranks by combined strength in just those categories — e.g. find the players who help most in AVG + SB at once. Ideal for targeting a specific roster weakness on the waiver wire.
-
Tap a hot player, jump to their stats FreeClick any hot player anywhere in the app and you land straight on their full stat card in Rankings — no searching for them again.
-
NFL value model — projections + prior year FreeNFL rankings are built from real projections and prior-year performance, not just raw current-season stats. Once the season starts, they also factor in team-context signals like target share and pace — in the offseason those are shown as context only and don't move the ranking yet.
-
PGA rankings PremiumGolf rankings are Premium; all other sports' rankings are free.
Team Manager Premium
Link your ESPN account once (cookies stored server-side, same login covers every sport) and manage your lineups. The entire Team Manager is Premium.
-
Lineup Autopilot — MLB & WNBA PremiumSets your optimal legal lineup automatically each morning, valuing players under your league's own detected scoring (MLB roto z-score, WNBA H2H Points). One-tap "apply optimal lineup" too.
-
IL/IR management with smart swaps PremiumDetects your league's real IL/IR slot, activates recovered players, and moves injured starters to the IL — pairing swaps so nothing overfills your roster.
-
Waiver suggestions — standings-weighted category impact PremiumFor MLB roto, only surfaces a waiver add if it wins more categories than it loses, weighting each category by where you actually rank — gaining a category you're last in matters far more than padding one you already lead.
-
Drop recommendations PremiumNames the specific weakest droppable player (by value under your scoring) when a roster move is needed — display-only, since drops are irreversible.
-
Prospect call-up system PremiumTracks stashed minor-league prospects and alerts you the moment one is called up. Flag any prospect with Watch to get a one-tap Reclaim on ESPN prompt if they're promoted, and drop suggestions carry days-in-minors context (60+ days flags a long stash).
