Evan

LaPorta Potty · Sixteen men on the chart. Nine start. One is kept.

Projected 127.00 this week, 1st of twelve. One starter carries a designation and none is out. The set lineup is the best lineup available from this roster. The hollow week is Week 11, when three starters are off. This week’s case is Larry, whom this file trails 3-4.

I · The lineup, seat by seat against the league

Each starter is ranked against the eleven other men set in the same seat this week, by the same stamp. The strip is the league; the filled cell is this seat. Strongest seat: QB1, 1st of twelve. Weakest: D/ST1, 9th of twelve.

Ranks are against the other starters set in that seat at the same stamp, second flex against second flex; an empty seat ranks last. The tick in the strip is the league’s middle. A 2027 cost is the round he was drafted in, less two; a first- or second-round man is never keepable; a waiver man costs a 13th (Constitution, Keepers).

The Andrews seat is 0.94 apart at this stamp. If the designation walks before lock, the chart has an answer and the margin says what it costs.

III · The bye map

Every man on the chart against every week of the season. A filled cell is a week he does not play. The column that empties the most starting seats is the hollow week, and it is the one figure on this page in wax.

Week 13 is the quieter trap: three starters off. Week 11 empties three starting seats. Weeks 15–17 are the postseason; a bye there belongs to nobody on this chart.

IV · The week’s trajectory

ESPN overwrites a projection in place. The Office keeps three stamps a week — Wednesday morning, Sunday morning, and five minutes before the one o’clock lock — so the shape of a week survives it. This is the only copy of the Wednesday number anywhere.

The drawer opens at the Office, one desk for every chart: survivor standing and this week’s pick are there today, with the pick write; the rest follows. Nothing above this line changes when you sign in, and nothing in the drawer is ever shown to another seat. If the Office is closed, it says so and the chart above stands.
