Final: frozen at kickoff, October 13, 2026
Week 5 is in the books: these splits are frozen where the board stood before kickoff. the players where projections priced from live player and game markets split furthest from the crowd's start/sit votes. Projections, not picks.
The crowd rank is an Elo-style rating built from readers' head-to-head start/sit votes: every vote nudges both players' ratings, votes are graded against actual results each week, and voters with a proven record count for more. The market rank orders the same players by market-implied projected points. Only startable, available players qualify as splits (questionable is noted; ruled-out players are excluded). See the full split list or how the ratings work.
The market prices Rhamondre Stevenson RB2 for Week 5, but start/sit voters have him down at RB18. The crowd is fading a player the market still likes, a 16-spot split at RB. He is listed questionable, and that uncertainty is part of the split. The crowd side comes from 66 head-to-head votes on him, each graded against his actual results after the games.
Start/sit voters rank Brock Purdy QB2 for Week 5, while projections priced from live player and game markets have him QB16. That is a 14-spot split at QB, one of the widest among startable players.
