By Verdexed Analytics
The rest-of-season board, rebuilt November 3, against the board of October 27: 29 players up by a tier's worth at the position, 23 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.
