Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet Overview

A fantasy football cheat sheet captures preseason expectations; how players were valued before the first snap. That baseline becomes invaluable once the season unfolds. If your roster is playoff-ready but your bench needs depth, revisit your cheat sheet to identify players drafted as long-term stashes who haven't broken out yet.

During the season, cheat sheets also serve as a reference map. Compare a player's current production to their preseason ranking and you'll quickly see who's exceeding expectations and who's disappointing, all critical insight for trades and waiver claims.

Reasons to Use A Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet

Whether it's draft night, trade deadline or setting your weekly lineup, a cheat sheet keeps you prepared. It consolidates fantasy football projections and key NFL player stats into a single reference you can access in seconds.

Fantasy football cheat sheets help you make sharper decisions all season. They prevent you from reaching for players too early or overvaluing household names. They adapt to your league's specific scoring format. And when a trade offer lands in your inbox, they give you instant context on whether you're winning or losing the deal.

Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet Formats

Every league scores differently, and RotoWire's cheat sheets match that reality. Whether you're in a PPR league, Dynasty format or something niche like a Superflex, there's a cheat sheet built for your rules.

Tracking NFL starting lineups and monitoring inactives for NFL games also matters, knowing who's actually on the field can be the difference between a win and a loss.

Format	Description
Standard	Traditional scoring with no bonus for receptions. Running backs and touchdown-dependent players gain value.
PPR	Awards one full point per reception, elevating pass-catching backs and high-volume receivers.
Half PPR	Splits the difference at 0.5 points per reception, creating a balanced scoring environment.
IDP	Includes rankings for individual defensive players, not just team defenses.
Dynasty	Prioritizes long-term player value for multi-season leagues where youth and upside matter most.
Dynasty-Superflex	Dynasty rankings adjusted for leagues where quarterbacks can start in flex positions, dramatically increasing QB value.
NFFC	Custom formatting aligned with National Fantasy Football Championship league rules.
ESPN	Rankings calibrated for ESPN's default scoring and roster settings.
Yahoo	Cheat sheet optimized for Yahoo Fantasy Football league configurations.
