The unranked player below the line: there is no Week 1 market-based projection yet, so no points are printed and the order is draft position (ADP), not a ranking.
This is not a projection we made. Every number is the fantasy points implied by the player markets posted for Week 1: yards, catches and touchdowns, with the margin removed and scored in Standard. Half PPR and standard are the same projections with the projected catches counted at that format's rate, and nothing else changes. A player with only a touchdown projection, or no projection at all, is listed below the ranked board without a number. The season boards sit on the fantasy rankings page; this one is the week.
