Redraft Cheat Sheet 2026: How to Use It
A redraft cheat sheet ranks players purely on what they're expected to produce this season — no rookie hype premium, no age discount. Print it, keep it next to you on draft night, and pick fast.
Redraft vs Dynasty Rankings
The two lists diverge more than most managers expect. Proven veterans in their late 20s and early 30s rank meaningfully higher in redraft than in dynasty, because you only care about this year's output. Rookies and young stashes fall, because their value is mostly in future seasons you'll never own in a one-year league.
Draft picks are excluded entirely — redraft leagues have no future pick assets. If you want the dynasty view instead, use the Dynasty Cheat Sheet.
Setting Your Format Before Printing
Superflex vs 1QB: In superflex, quarterbacks jump the board. Print the format you're actually drafting.
PPR: Full PPR lifts high-volume pass catchers; standard scoring pushes bell-cow running backs back up.
TEP scoring: Tight end premium leagues elevate elite TEs significantly — set it before printing.
Team count: Deeper leagues make depth players meaningfully more valuable.
How to Read the Tier Separators
The colored tier lines mark natural value breaks — the drop-offs matter more than the exact rank numbers. When a tier is about to run out, reach; when the next four players are in the same tier, wait.
