How to read this report
Rank correlation is Spearman’s correlation of the original opponent-total signal (lower is better) with actual fantasy points (higher is better), using average ranks for ties. Alphabetical display tie-breaks do not earn credit. A correlation of 0.28 does not mean “28% accurate.”
The top-five average uses the first five published picks, including any alphabetical boundary tie-break. The comparison is the equal-weight average of all completed defenses in that week, not a league-availability strategy. There is no verified pregame ESPN or FantasyPros benchmark here, so we do not claim to beat either.
Forecast files are preserved separately from results. Refreshes retain dated result downloads and replace the displayed summary for that week; previous weeks remain visible. Each report includes the forecast timestamp and SHA-256 hash. Ranking methodology →
