How should fantasy managers use depth charts?

Scan for handcuffs, committee backfields, WR2/WR3 upside, and injury-driven opportunity before waiver runs. Use Personnel and Formation to see who matters in common NFL packages, then pair this board with Start/Sit and Waiver Wire.

What do Starter, Backup, and Flex / Role mean?

Starter is the projected #1 at the position. Backup is typically the next man up. Flex / Role covers situational contributors; Specialist is package-based; Depth covers developmental or emergency reserves.

What is Personnel vs Formation on the board?

Personnel is who is on the field by count — for example 11 Personnel is 1 RB, 1 TE, and 3 WR. Formation is the backfield alignment (Shotgun, Singleback, I-Formation, Pistol, or Empty). Together they drive the View Formation board.

What does View Formation show?

A coaching-style field with projected skill players, offensive line placeholders, and eleven defenders for the selected Personnel and Formation. It is a fantasy visual for pre-snap context — not an official NFL play sheet.

What do Overall, Off, and Def ratings mean?

Those are FantasyHQ Power Index grades for the roster: Overall for the full team, Off for offense depth and production, and Def for defensive depth. Higher is stronger.
