Draft Room · 2025 · snake
Every pick priced under this league’s scoring, then compared to the average player taken in the same round. The Waiver Wire Warriors drafted best this season (+377 alpha over 13 priced picks).
Positive alpha = you out-drafted the room for the capital you spent. Round-relative, so early and late picks are comparable.
2019 Wants Its Roster Back lost the most to the trainer’s room. Their drafted players missed 65 games (Brandon Aiyuk 16, Joe Burrow 9, Cam Skattebo 8).
| Manager | Value vs ADP | Alpha | Games missed | Early (R1–3) | Best steal | Biggest bust |

Requisition: drafted · Round 10, Pick 110 (Trade Machine Addict)
A plain count of games your drafted players missed to injury or suspension, out of the games their NFL teams played (byes excluded). Fewer is better, so the healthiest draft sits on top. Counts whole games missed, not a game a player left early.
Same alpha as the bar above the Draft Room, run week by week instead of once for the season — a fixed pie of value, re-sliced as the year plays out. Every week's lines sum to exactly zero across the league by construction.

Read across a row: how well you drafted on the day, how much those picks actually produced, and the injury luck in between. A great class and a great result are not always the same thing.
