Beat is how the team would have done against every other team each week, not just the one it was scheduled against. Luck is wins minus that same figure: positive means the schedule has been kind so far. Bench is points scored by players who were sitting out. The full table is on the Standings+ page.

The bar is how often a team made the playoffs when the rest of the season was played out 10,000 times. It moves every week, sometimes by a lot.

The Waiver Wire Has a Frequent Flyer
ComebackChris is redrafting on the fly at 2-0, two games ended somewhere around halftime, and the defending champ is undefeated without anyone checking the math.

Never played fantasy? Four minutes, tops
Ten friends, ten pretend teams of real NFL players.
What is PPR?
Every catch a player makes is worth one point to the manager who started him, on top of points for yards and touchdowns.
This league runs full PPR, so receivers who catch a lot of short passes are worth more here than they look on TV.
Bench points
Each manager starts ten players and sits the rest. Points the sitting players score are called bench points, and they count for nothing.
A big bench number means the right players were on the roster and the wrong ones were in the lineup.
Beating everyone
Each week a team plays one opponent, which is a small sample. So we also check the score against every other team.
A team can beat almost everyone and still lose the one game that counts.
Luck
Wins minus the wins a team deserved based on how it did against the whole field. Positive is fortunate, negative is not.
Luck evens out over a season, which is the most annoying true thing in this sport.
