2025 · Commissioner's League 1
Eight receiver picks did not match the tight-end return
The single drafted TE, fourth-rounder Trey McBride, produced a clearer positional strength than tbosch82's eight receiver selections. McBride supplied 188.2 lineup points in 13 starts; at WR, Drake London supplied 147 and DK Metcalf 138.5. Across weeks 1-14, including pickups, TE led the league at 13.7 points per start against a peer median of 8.3, while WR trailed its benchmark at 9.3 versus 10.7.

Supporting facts
- Whole draft: 4 RB, 8 WR, 1 TE, 2 QB, 1 K, 1 DEF.

- Fixed WR slots: 388.6 points, 42 occupied starts and 42 opportunities. Drafted-player totals may include FLEX; the slot comparison does not.
- Other managers' median points per occupied WR start: 10.65; this manager: 9.25. The season slot result includes later acquisitions, not only the named draft picks.
- Trey McBride: round 4, pick 33; 13 original-draft-spell starts / 188.2 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 13 / 188.2 points.
- Drake London: round 2, pick 18; 9 original-draft-spell starts / 147 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 9 / 147 points.
- DK Metcalf: round 5, pick 48; 13 original-draft-spell starts / 138.5 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 13 / 138.5 points.
- TE fixed slots, 2025 weeks 1-14: 192.1 points / 14 occupied starts in 14 opportunities; stored rate 13.72, other-9 manager median 8.31. Rates in the body round the underlying points/start ratio. Full-season slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- WR fixed slots, 2025 weeks 1-14: 388.6 points / 42 occupied starts in 42 opportunities; stored rate 9.25, other-9 manager median 10.65. Rates in the body round the underlying points/start ratio. Full-season slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- Drafted-player contributions can include FLEX and stop at first departure unless explicitly described as all-own; they are not the numerator for fixed-position output. Allocation and realized scoring do not establish causes or decision quality.
- Rationale: McBride was the sole TE drafted; London and Metcalf were selected in rounds 2 and 5 and supplied nine and 13 original-spell starts. The full TE and WR slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- 1 starts (18.72 known points) have uncertain acquisition origin.
- 1 weekly roster arrays have no exact within-window replay state; snapshot timing is unresolved.
