How It Works
How PFM’s Start/Sit Tool Works
The call starts with the current weekly board. Rest-of-season rank stays separate so a one-week lineup decision does not get mixed up with long-term player value.
The weekly ranking decides the start
Start/Sit is a one-week decision. PFM compares both players at the lineup spot you select, then starts the player with the better current weekly rank. Draft price, name value or a stronger rest-of-season rank does not overrule the current week’s board.
The size of the gap matters. One or two spots is a true close call, three to seven spots is an edge, and eight or more is a clear separation in PFM’s current rankings.
Weekly and ROS ranks answer different questions
Weekly rank asks who to start now. Rest-of-season rank asks which player PFM prefers over the weeks ahead. A player can be the right start this Sunday and still trail the other player for longer-term fantasy value.
When ROS rankings are available, the tool keeps both views next to each other. That makes it easy to spot a short-term start that does not match the longer-term ranking.
Close Calls
How to Break a Close Start/Sit Call
When the weekly rankings are close, role, matchup and late news can decide the call.
Start With the Role
Start with role and expected touches or targets. A bigger name is not always the better start if the other player has the clearer workload.
Use the Matchup as a Tiebreaker
Use the matchup as a tiebreaker, not the whole case. Quarterback play, offensive quality and how a defense handles that position can move a close decision.
Check the Latest News
Check the latest injury and availability news before kickoff. One inactive starter can change routes, carries, targets or red-zone work in a hurry. See the latest NFL injuries.

What to Know Before You Lock In the Call
Can you compare players at different positions?
Yes, when both players are eligible for the same lineup spot. Running backs, wide receivers and tight ends can be compared at Flex. Quarterbacks can join those positions at Superflex only when the current weekly board includes a verified Superflex ranking.
What if PFM has the players only one spot apart?
Treat it as a real toss-up. The tool still follows the higher weekly rank, but a one-spot gap is small enough that late injury news, an unexpected inactive or a role change can flip the practical lineup decision before kickoff.
How often do the rankings change?
PFM fantasy rankings run on a daily in-season schedule, and major NFL news can move players between updates. Check the PFM update schedule for the current cadence, then recheck a close decision if news breaks near kickoff.
Why can weekly and ROS ranks disagree?
Because they solve different problems. A player can be the better start this week without being the better rest-of-season asset. That split is useful when you need to set today’s lineup without changing how you value the players for future weeks.
