Board and projection inputs
The selected rankings board provides market order. Where available, projection data is rescored using the league settings and is used for tier construction and value comparisons.
Roster-aware evaluation
Dedicated starter slots, flex seats, superflex demand, bench depth and late-round kicker or defense requirements affect how a player is evaluated.
Monte Carlo availability
Picktator runs repeated draft scenarios to estimate which players and tiers may survive. Opponent selections are influenced by roster needs, board position and controlled randomness.
VONA and tiers together
Tier recommendations use the complete VONA recommendation score as their strategic base, then add tier-survival and tier-drop context without double-counting raw positional value.
Limits
Draft behavior is uncertain, projections can be wrong, data feeds can change, and a small simulated sample cannot represent every league. Use the reasoning as an aid alongside your own player views.
