How the rest-of-season score works
The ROS score is a PPR points-per-game number: 40% the average of Sleeper’s projections for Weeks 7 to 9 (weeks with no projection, such as a bye, are skipped rather than counted as zero), 30% the average of the last three games (nflverse), and 30% season points per game. Players listed Out, IR, PUP or suspended are left off. It is a short-horizon, production-and-projection ranking: it does not use strength of schedule, depth-chart news or playoff schedules, and a player needs at least one game this season to be ranked.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the top rest of season tight end in 2026?
By our ROS score, Brock Bowers (LV) is the top TE at 18.3 PPR points per game, followed by Isaiah Likely (17.2) and Trey McBride (16.2), as of October 20, 2026.
How are these rest of season rankings calculated?
The score blends Sleeper’s projections for the next three weeks (40%), the last three games (30%) and season points per game (30%) in PPR. Players who are Out, on IR or suspended are excluded. Strength of schedule is not included.
Are the ROS rankings for PPR, half PPR or standard?
They use full PPR points. For half PPR or standard, the order near the top barely changes, but pass-catching backs and slot receivers slip a little; the weekly start/sit pages list half-PPR projections too.
How often do the rest of season rankings update?
Every day. The data on this page is as of October 20, 2026 and the projections look at Weeks 7 to 9.
