Printable Cheat Sheet

What this sheet is. This is the same board as our Rankings page, rebuilt for the way a real draft actually goes: on a phone under the table, or on paper beside a laptop, with somebody yelling at you that you're on the clock. Every number on it is recalculated for the league you picked above — scoring, size and QB rules genuinely change the order, which is why a sheet printed for someone else's league is worse than no sheet at all. Set your format first, then print — the settings at the top of this page are the same three that drive the Rankings board, so if you already dialed those in there, match them here and the two pages agree.

Draft the tiers, not the ranks. The single most useful thing on this sheet is the horizontal tier lines. A tier groups players whose projected value is close enough that the difference is inside the sources' own disagreement — within a tier, take whoever fits your roster, your stack, or your gut. The line between tiers is where the real cost lives: when a tier is down to its last player and it's your pick, that player is worth more to you than the board position suggests, because the alternative is the top of a meaningfully worse group. The classic draft-day mistake is reaching across a tier line for a name you like when three players from the same tier would have come back to you a round later.

What the value number means. The number beside each player is projected points above a replacement-level starter at his position in your league — not raw projected points. That's why the sheet is sectioned by position and why comparing the number across positions is exactly what it's for: a running back at 38 genuinely projects to add more to your lineup than a quarterback at 22, even if the quarterback scores more total points. Scarcity is built in. In Superflex the quarterback numbers jump, because a second starting QB slot makes them scarce — that's the recalculation working, not a mistake. The sheet only lists players who clear zero on this number for the league you picked — the ones actually worth a draft pick — so a thin position page means the league has run out of players worth drafting there, not a bug in the sheet. Kickers and team defenses carry no projected value in this model and are left off the sheet entirely — not an oversight, the same methodology applied consistently.

How to use the checkboxes. Cross off every player as he is drafted — by anyone, not just you. The sheet's job in round nine is to show you, at a glance, which tiers still have live names. If you keep it current, "best available" stops being a memory test. Some people circle their own picks and strike through everyone else's; do whatever your pen hand can keep up with.

Why one page per position. Draft rooms move fast, and flipping a single sheet beats scrolling a merged list. Positional runs are also easier to see: when six wide receivers go in eight picks, the WR page suddenly looks bare below the current tier, and that emptiness is the signal to act — or to consciously let the run pass and take the value the room is leaving at other positions. It also means you're never hunting for a name across a hundred rows of a different position while the clock runs; the page in front of you is the only one you need until you turn it.

What this sheet is not. It's a snapshot — the date it was built from is printed on every page. Projections move daily during draft season as depth charts and injury news settle, so print it the morning of your draft, not the week before. It also can't see your league's draft room: for a live board with value and reach flags as picks come off, use the Draft Board, and to practice the whole thing first, the Mock Draft Trainer will grade the result. The projections and the value model behind every number are documented in plain language on the methodology page — no expert panel, no hidden sauce, and where the data is thin the board says so rather than guessing.
