How Consensus Rankings Are Calculated

RosterRx's consensus rankings average each player's rank across every source it has for them — currently ESPN, Yahoo, and FantasyPros, plus any sources you've uploaded yourself. A player ranked 3rd by one source and 7th by another shows up around 5th in the consensus view, with both individual ranks still visible per source so you can see exactly where the disagreement comes from.

What the numbers mean

• #Ovr / #Pos. The player's average overall rank and average position rank across all sources that ranked them.
• Best / Worst. The highest and lowest individual rank any single source gave that player — a quick way to spot a player one source loves and another doesn't.
• StdDev. Standard deviation across sources' ranks for that player. A low number means the sources largely agree; a high number means there's real disagreement worth digging into before you draft or start them.

Why sources disagree

Different sources weigh things like target share, offensive scheme changes, injury risk, and rookie/backup uncertainty differently — that's normal, not a sign one source is simply wrong. Consensus rankings smooth out any one source's individual bias without hiding the disagreement, which is why every source's individual rank stays visible alongside the consensus number rather than being replaced by it.
