The rest-of-season board, rebuilt November 10, against the board of November 3: 28 players up by a tier's worth at the position, 26 down. Rank is the position rank on the rest-of-season board (points a game over the position's replacement starter, times games left, PPR). The reason is what the data says changed: this season's average, a designation, a team.

How this is built

The rest-of-season board is the season board with this year's games blended in and the injury feed applied, rebuilt every morning; a snapshot is kept each Tuesday after the season board rebuild. The live board is on the NFL rankings page. This is a fantasy piece, not betting advice.
