Projection accuracy

Week 1 projections captured for 747 players; accuracy available after the week 1 archive.

Data and diagnostics

ESPN weekly component projections (projections_espn). Self-check pass rate: 100.0% (522/522).

Each chip is one data source the page was built from: the CBS league endpoints (dates, auth, rules, player pool, one roster per team), Sleeper projections and player spine, ESPN schedule and injuries, and three derived checks (ownership, identity, configuration). The number is minutes since that source was fetched; a chip turns red when the source failed or is older than its allowed age.
