The Week 8 report, auto-built from the boards: the players where projections priced from live player and game markets split furthest from the crowd's start/sit votes, and where the market itself moved. 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 Drake Maye QB1 for Week 8, but start/sit voters have him down at QB13. The crowd is fading a player the market still likes, a 12-spot split at QB. The crowd side comes from 51 head-to-head votes on him, each graded against his actual results after the games.
Start/sit voters rank Jared Goff QB2 for Week 8, 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. The crowd side comes from 72 head-to-head votes on him, each graded against his actual results after the games.
The market prices Puka Nacua WR1 for Week 8, but start/sit voters have him down at WR5. The crowd is fading a player the market still likes, a 4-spot split at WR. He is listed questionable, and that uncertainty is part of the split. The crowd side comes from 132 head-to-head votes on him, each graded against his actual results after the games.
The market prices A.J. Brown WR11 for Week 8, but start/sit voters have him down at WR48. The crowd is fading a player the market still likes, a 37-spot split at WR. The crowd side comes from 81 head-to-head votes on him, each graded against his actual results after the games.
