Start or sit? Compare any two players this week.
Type two names and see each player's Start Score, a 0 to 100 rating of how good a start they are this week, where they rank at their position, and what set it: how much they're used, how well they've played, and who they face. Free, no sign-up, and every score comes from public game data through a formula printed on the page, so you can check it.

A typical start/sit call for Week 8 (data through Week 7): the RB ranked 18th against the WR ranked 30th. Swap in your own players. A score ranks a player against everyone at the same position, so a 90 means the top 10% at that spot. Informational only, not lineup, betting or daily-fantasy advice.

How the number is made
Every score starts from public game data: play-by-play and box scores for the NFL from nflverse, MLB's own stats feed, and ESPN box scores for the NBA. A fixed formula turns that into the rating, and the formula is printed on each tool's page. There is no machine learning and no hidden adjustment, so the same data always gives the same score, and if you disagree with a number you can see exactly which part to argue with.
