  • Use this clean week to set starters normally — no bye coverage needed.
  • Prep ahead: Week 3 has 4 teams on bye (BAL, JAX, LV, PIT).
  • Good window to stream, stash handcuffs, or trade before the next bye cluster.

How this score works

Impact blends how many teams are off, how many fantasy-relevant starters that likely removes, and how many top-50 ranked players are unavailable.

  • Team volume (45) — Share of teams on bye vs the busiest bye week this season (max 45 pts).
  • Starter scarcity (30) — Estimated fantasy starters affected (~2 QB, 4 RB, 5 WR, 1 TE per team), scaled to 72 (max 30 pts).
  • Top-50 pressure (25) — Share of top-50 ranked players on bye vs the worst week this season (max 25 pts).

Your roster impact is separate: it counts your starters on bye, bench coverage quality, and whether a waiver replacement is available.

Hardest bye weeks: Weeks 6, 4, 5, 7, 9

Week 2 bye-free plan

No teams on bye — use this week to prep for the next cluster.

Bye-free early week

The bye window hasn’t started yet. All 32 teams are active, so you won’t lose starters to byes this week.

  • Set your normal starters — nobody is forced out by a bye.
  • Stream freely without worrying about same-week bye coverage.
  • Look ahead to Week 3: 4 teams go on bye — plan coverage now.
