23 ranked players were in action. They scored 232 points between them, an average of 10.1 each.
3 of them scored nothing. That number is in here on purpose: a player whose team played and who never reached a box score is a zero, and the zeros are what a recap usually hides.

Raw points reward whoever drew the weakest opponent. This is points above what a player at that position averages against a defence of that strength, which is a different list and usually a more useful one.
| Player | Opponent | Their rating | Points | Above expected |

Points per unit of draft cost. A player taken at 200 scoring 20 is a different event from a player taken at 5 scoring 20, and this is the column that says so.

One quiet week is one quiet week. None of these are conclusions, and anyone telling you otherwise four days into a season is guessing louder than you are.
Opponent strength is our power rating, where zero is an average FBS team. The line is the market's, captured before kickoff.

|---|---|---|---|
| Micah Ford | Miami | +17.3 | +24.5 |
| Beau Pribula | Norfolk State | -32.9 | -44.5 |
| Jayden Maiava | Fresno State | -2.2 | -21.5 |
| Trent Mosley | Fresno State | -2.2 | -21.5 |

Season-long best ball: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, flex and superflex. The best any drafter could have done with this pool was 151.6, with a QB in the superflex.
| Slot | Player | Team | ADP | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Beau Pribula | Virginia | 145 | 25.2 |
| RB | Micah Ford | Stanford | 165 | 28.5 |
| RB | Jeremy Payne | TCU | 72 | 19.4 |
| WR | Trent Mosley | USC | 186 | 21.3 |
| WR | Ed Small | TCU | 232 | 11.0 |
| TE | Mark Bowman | USC | 177 | 3.0 |
| FLEX | Ousmane Kromah | Florida State | 128 | 18.7 |
| SUPERFLEX | Jayden Maiava | USC | 57 | 24.5 |
Built purely on ADP instead, taking the highest-drafted player available at every slot, the same lineup scored 106.6. That is a gap of +45.0 points. Nobody ever hits the perfect lineup, but the distance between those two numbers is what a roster is playing for.
Worth noting who made it from late: Micah Ford (ADP 165), Trent Mosley (ADP 186), Ed Small (ADP 232), Mark Bowman (ADP 177). A perfect lineup full of players nobody wanted is a board problem, not a luck story.
Points are half-PPR, computed from ESPN box scores. A ranked player whose team played and who never reached a box score is counted as a zero rather than dropped, which is the number most recaps leave out. Opponent ratings are ours; lines are the market's, captured before kickoff.
