Updated Nov 8, 1:01 PM ET. “Must add” is the share of leagues whose board has him in the top two tiers. “Rostered” is the share of all leagues holding him, where reported. The number a league should actually bid is what the app prices from that league’s own history — see what players really cost.

How the tiers read

Must add

Score 80 and up: a starter-grade vacancy or a role that has already changed, with the usage to show it.

Strong add

60 to 79: a real role or a clear path to one; worth a real bid in most leagues.

Speculative

40 to 59: a trend or a thin position, not yet a job. A dollar or two.

Stash

Under 40, or on a reserve list: a free roster spot, nothing more.
