Fantasy football Probabilistic projections
Every projection is a range, not a number.
Downfield Forecast projects every NFL player as a full distribution — floor, median and ceiling — so you can see the shape of a start/sit call instead of a single number that hides it.
We are built for the leagues other tools shrug at: dynasty and keeper leagues that look seasons ahead, IDP leagues that start individual defenders, and leagues with unusual scoring. For every player we cover, that means a range for the rest of this season and for each of the next three, and we publish how those ranges tested against real seasons.
Downfield Forecast runs at app.downfieldforecast.com. You can browse an example week’s projections there with no signup required; your league and your subscription need an account.
Ranges, not guesses
Floor and ceiling come from calibrated prediction intervals — and we publish how often those intervals actually contain what happened.
Your league’s exact rules
Full-PPR, TE premium, points per first down, yardage milestones, multi-TD and stacking bonuses — every projection is re-scored under your scoring, including the rules other tools round off.
Dynasty, keeper and IDP
Season-ahead boards at seven positions — QB, RB, WR and TE and the individual defenders (DL, LB and DB) — each horizon tested on past seasons, with the results published, misses included.
Lineup calls, triaged
Most weeks hold five obvious starts and two real decisions. We flag which is which — and how often the alternative outscores your starter across simulated outcomes.
Judge the record, not the pitch
Every projection service says it’s accurate. We show it: interval coverage, error by stat, and where we ran hot or cold — measured on real outcomes and published on a public page. When we miss, you’ll see that too.
