Before anything is ranked, anyone unavailable this week is pulled out of contention for a starting slot entirely (they still show up on the bench, just with a badge explaining why):

• Anyone whose team has a bye in the week selected above.
• Anyone flagged Out, IR, PUP, NFI, or Suspended. Questionable/Doubtful players are left eligible and just flagged, since those players frequently do play.

Everyone left is ranked by projected points within their position (Ceiling and Floor shift that by the boom/consistency bonuses, which describe how a player scores), then slots are filled in this order:

1. Single-position slots (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST) get filled first, by the best remaining player at that exact position.
2. FLEX slots (RB/WR/TE eligible) get filled next, by whichever eligible player projects for the most points left over.
3. SUPERFLEX slots (QB/RB/WR/TE eligible), if your league has any, get filled last, from whoever's left across all four positions.
4. Everyone else sits on the bench.

This ordering is built to get the most value out of your total starting lineup, given how each slot type can be filled.

Slots are deliberately not filled by Edge Score, which is what the Draft Board ranks by. Edge Score rewards positional scarcity — a QB is easier to replace than an RB when you're drafting — but once both players are on your roster that cost is already sunk, and the only question a lineup asks is who scores more. Ranking slots by Edge Score once benched a QB projected for 100+ more points than the RB that took his SUPERFLEX spot.

Any player recommended into your lineup is highlighted Start right on their row, and anyone recommended out is highlighted Sit on the bench side, so the suggested changes are easy to spot at a glance.
