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.
