The Predictalator has run every Week 17 2011 NFL game 50,000 times. This allows us to rank all players based on their expected fantasy football output in the upcoming game. For salary cap leagues, we have added $/FP to uncover players with the greatest value. Salary values are presented by DraftDay.com, a website that specializes in daily fantasy sports games.

General league settings (6 points for a TD, 1 point per 10 rushing and receiving yards, 1 point for 25 passing yards) are used to rank players. We have provided separate rankings for leagues that use that type of scoring plus one point for a reception (PPR).

Paul Bessire

Paul Bessire, who built the Predictalator, has served as a fantasy football and baseball expert specializing in player projections and optimal draft strategies for more than six seasons.

The Predictalator is the most advanced sports forecasting software available today because it has the ability to account for all of the relevant statistical interactions of the players (playing or not playing/injured), coaches, officials, fans (homefield advantage) and weather in each game. The Predictalator plays every game 50,000 times before it's actually played.
