2026 depth chart · bye 11What do these terms mean?
Depth
His spot on the team's published depth chart at his position, 1 being the starter. Comes from the team, not from Nova.
Nova Rk ★
Nova's own ranking by VORP, independent of ADP and the experts. The core opinion.
VORP ★
Value Over Replacement Player: projected points above a freely-available replacement at the same position. Nova's core measure of real value.
Tier ★
Nova's value tier at the position. A tier break marks a real cliff in value, so Tier 1 is the top group, Tier 2 the next, and so on.
Proj PPG ★
Nova's projected fantasy points per game.
Bye
His bye week, the week his NFL team does not play.
Early SOS
Strength of schedule over the early season (weeks 1-6).
Playoff SOS
Strength of schedule in the fantasy playoffs (weeks 15-17), which matters most for a title run.
★ = Nova’s own model, the secret sauce. The rest are the market reference and raw stats Nova is measured against.
