WE DEM BOYS · EST. 2014
This Week
The matchups. The moves. The receipts.
Power Rankings
The ten fellas, drafted and honestly assessed: full-roster strength blended with recent pedigree.
How the power rating works
In-Season Recap
Last week’s damage. This week’s arguments. Pick your side.
The Wire
Every trade and waiver claim this season. Each trade gets a read on how both sides did — position-adjusted value and roster fit, not just projected points.
Weekly Power Rankings
Everyone’s score. Everyone else’s schedule.
All-Time Rankings
Every manager across twelve seasons, ranked by the era-adjusted merit score. Open a manager for their career profile and season-by-season record.
What is the merit score?
A relative career score: 35% all-play results, 25% era-adjusted achievements, 20% scoring strength, 12% playoff rate and 8% schedule luck. Championships in larger leagues carry more weight. All-play compares each weekly score with every other team; luck is actual wins minus all-play expected wins.
The Trade Desk
Every deal that survived the group-chat gauntlet. Most proposals die on the floor; these didn't.
The Ledger
The most recent deals first. Find a player, a manager, or the trade nobody has forgotten.
Where these trades come from
Past trades are reconstructed from roster changes with commissioner-verified corrections. A player traded twice in a week may net out. Transaction coverage varies by season; proposal totals are reported separately from executed deals.
Biggest Fleecings Ten deals that left a mark
Graded by rest-of-season (ROS) fantasy points each side received after the deal. The gap is the damage; it is not a roster-fit or injury-adjusted grade.
Insights
Pick a manager and a season: their week-by-week trajectory, the trades that reshaped the roster, and the players who carried them.
League-Wide
Lineup Efficiency
Points left on the bench per season: the optimal lineup minus what they actually started. Lower is sharper.
The Waiver Wire
Best free-agent pickups (points after the add) and the drops that came back to haunt.
The Record Book
The single marks brought up at every draft until the end of time, plus the eternal question of who was good versus merely blessed.
Ball Knowers vs. the Blessed
Skill (all-play win %) against results (actual win %), split at the league-average 50% on each axis. Top-right earned it; top-left got lucky; bottom-right got robbed; bottom-left earned nothing.
Past Seasons
Season by season: final standings, the playoff bracket, and the recap for every year on the record.

Checking the archive…
What’s in the archive?
Season standings, matchups, drafts, rostered-player weekly scores, executed transactions and the verified trade ledger. Coverage depends on what ESPN still makes available. Older player-level and transaction records may be incomplete. The historian identifies those gaps; an absent record is not proof an event never happened.
Transactions are checked every 15 minutes. Full league data is refreshed four times daily. Your question reads the archive and never triggers an ESPN request. Conversation text stays in this browser tab. Cloudflare AI interprets your questions; statistics and charts come from the stored archive. No separate OpenAI key is needed.
