2026 depth chart · bye 11

What 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.
