Week 5: how the picks actually did

Week 5 · 13 October 2026

In week 5, Waiver ordered players correctly 84.2% of the time, ahead of expert consensus on 74.5%.

Against the experts

Every pair of players at the same position whose scores finished at least two points apart, and how often each source put them in the right order. A player whose team played and who did not counts as the zero he scored.

Against Sleeper's projections

Over the 391 players both Waiver and Sleeper projected, scored the same way on the same games. Sleeper's numbers were captured before the games.

12514 pairs counted.

The calls against consensus

The players Waiver ranked furthest from the experts before the week. It was nearer the finish on 16 of 24.

Every number here is measured on games already played, against the same players and the same scoring. Weeks the site loses are reported too: a record that only shows wins is not a record. The scorecard carries the running totals, and every report is kept.
