Frequently Asked Questions
- How often are these fantasy football te rankings updated?
- These rankings refresh every six hours from the LeagueLogs Market Index, which is rebuilt continuously from current ADP and projections.
- What is the LeagueLogs Market Index?
- The LeagueLogs Market Index is a first-party player-value model that anchors every player to a 0–10000 raw value derived from current ADP and weekly projections. It powers our Trade Analyzer, Trade Finder, and Draft Analyzer in addition to these rankings.
- Are these consensus rankings?
- No. They are a single, transparent value model — not an average of pundits. We publish the underlying value alongside every player so you can see why they ranked where they did.
- Why is the tight end position so top-heavy?
- Only a handful of TEs each year clear positional replacement value — the gap between TE3 and TE12 is often larger than the gap between WR12 and WR36. The Market Index reflects that cliff directly: top TEs sit alongside elite WRs in overall value, then the position falls off sharply.
- Should I take an elite TE early or wait?
- It depends on the gap between this year's TE1 and the streamable tier. The Market Index makes that call cleaner — when the top TE's value sits 1500+ raw points above the mid-tier, the early pick has a real edge. When the cliff is shallow, waiting wins.
