Ratings under review. Offensive ratings are under review. Lineup, trade, bye replacement and rating-based media recommendations are paused. Displayed numbers are provisional.
Fantasy football ratings calculated from football data—not generated by a chatbot.
Our offensive ratings use statistical machine-learning models. AI Coach and Podcast use generative AI to explain published results and help you apply them; they do not calculate the underlying ratings.
These ratings reflect current-season performance and usage. Each new week adds evidence as the season progresses.
Week 5, 2026 incorporates 4 completed current-season weeks. Training seasons: 2025, 2026. Defense source data is unavailable; predictive validation is separate.
Model published: 2026-10-07T19:24:34.740505+00:00. Availability observed: 2026-10-12T00:19:16.010575+00:00. Publication updated: 2026-10-12T03:03:42.246438+00:00.
We use team rosters, injury reports, and game-day inactive lists to check who can play. “Expected to play” means we expect the player to play but have not confirmed it with current injury reports. “Playing status unknown” means we do not have enough current information to say whether the player will play. When playing status prevents us from showing a weekly rating, we show the status instead. The Overall rating remains visible.
The normal weekly model run is scheduled for Tuesday at 2 a.m. Pacific, after Monday’s games. Publishing waits for verified source readiness and retries hourly when needed. Availability refreshes follow official report deadlines and game-day inactive lists, with additional checks near kickoff.

How FantasyOmatic defense impact works
Defense impact uses the published opponent-only model estimate for each position group. Its predictive value requires separate validation. Missing matchup evidence remains unavailable; weekly and overall display ratings are not subtracted to invent a defensive effect. Defensive efficiency allowed is the average fantasy points per touch the opponent gives up.
