FREE WEEKLY TOP 10 PLAYER RANKINGS FOR EVERY FANTASY POSITION

NFL Week 17
Rankings in order by rating specifically for each week's games

Power Boost Additive

This is the Fantasy Gas additive that gives your team a power boost.  The BASELINE for each player represents season opening expectations computed from a variety of factors that affect performance including player history, age and experience as well as team and coaching tendencies.  Until meaningful statistics are generated, the BASELINE also serves as a heavily weighted benchmark of performance for early regular season games.

AVG (average) shows each player’s actual point production during the course of the season with the TREND representing the difference between expectations and reality.  The trend is valuable in accessing whether or not a player is playing at a higher or lower ranking than expected and helps to indicate potential transactions.  When considering players of equal actual ranking, the ones trending upward may indicate increasing potential.

The GAS RATING is key to making weekly lineup decisions.  It includes factors that go into the computation of the baseline along with average points allowed for players at each position by an upcoming opponent over a sliding span of recent games as shown in the Vs OPP (versus opponent) column.  The GAS RATING, in turn, serves as an indication of relative performance for the next game.
