Question 1

What is SnapCount?

Accepted Answer

SnapCount is a fantasy football analytics platform that provides weekly rankings, best ball rankings, dynasty valuations, and decision-making tools like Start/Sit, Trade Analyzer, Draft Assistant, and Waivers to help you win your leagues.

Question 2

Is SnapCount free to use?

Accepted Answer

SnapCount offers a free tier with rankings, Vegas odds, injury reports, and core tools. Premium ($4.99/month or $39.99/year) unlocks Draft Assistant, Rookie Mock Drafts, Ask the OWL advisor, Player Comps, Waiver Wire Assistant, Lineup Optimizer, Playoff Optimizer, Best Ball Rankings, Commissioner tools, CSV export, and unlimited league syncs.

Question 3

Why did SnapCount choose an owl as its logo?

Accepted Answer

Owls see in the dark. We help you see through the clutter of fantasy football data to find what actually matters. An owl is thoughtful, deliberate, and wise — qualities that define how we build our rankings. You get clear analysis and honest explanations, not marketing speak or black-box reasoning.

Question 4

How are your weekly rankings calculated?

Accepted Answer

Our weekly rankings blend player projections, efficiency metrics, and environmental factors like Vegas implied totals and weather into a composite score. Each player gets a floor, projected, and ceiling range along with a confidence rating. You can filter by PPR, Half-PPR, or Standard scoring.

Question 5

How do best ball rankings work?

Accepted Answer

Best ball rankings are sorted by season-long projection rather than redraft ADP. WRs and TEs get wider ceiling ranges to reflect boom/bust best ball value, while QBs are tiered by rushing upside (younger mobile QBs get a larger boost than pocket passers). K and DEF are excluded entirely. Value tags compare each player's best ball projection rank against their redraft ADP cost to surface steals and reaches.

Question 6

What is SnapCount Score?

Accepted Answer

SnapCount Score (0-100) blends efficiency metrics (like EPA), projected volume, and game environment into a single player quality signal. Higher is better. In weekly and ROS rankings, game environment includes Vegas implied totals and weather. Dynasty scores use a separate model focused on market value, age curves, and production — Vegas lines are not a factor in dynasty. During the offseason, scores shift to reflect prior season production, efficiency, and age curves until in-season data arrives. Dynasty trade values use a separate 0-10,000 scale for long-term valuation.

Question 7

How are dynasty rankings calculated?

Accepted Answer

Dynasty rankings use a proprietary algorithm that blends market value, age curves, on-field performance, team situation, NFL draft capital, and production trajectory into a single score. The system accounts for position-specific aging (RBs decline earlier than WRs), scoring format (Superflex, TEP), and uses real trade value data to stay calibrated to the dynasty market.

Question 8

What scoring formats do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support PPR (Points Per Reception), Half-PPR, and Standard scoring for weekly and best ball rankings. Dynasty rankings also support 1QB, 2QB/Superflex, and TEP (Tight End Premium) formats.

Question 9

How do I connect my Sleeper leagues?

Accepted Answer

Go to the My Teams page and enter your Sleeper username. We'll automatically find and display all your leagues. Select a league to see your roster with projections, position grades, power rankings, and trade suggestions.

Question 10

How does the Start/Sit tool work?

Accepted Answer

Enter two players you're deciding between, and we'll compare their projections, matchups, Vegas data, and other factors to give you a confidence score and recommendation.

Question 11

How does the Draft Assistant work?

Accepted Answer

The Draft Assistant provides real-time rankings with ADP comparisons, value tags (Steal, Great Value, Good Value, Fair Value, Slight Reach, Overvalued), tier labels, and strategy notes. It supports both redraft and best ball modes. Best ball mode includes stack targets, position-specific floor/ceiling ranges, and ceiling-weighted sorting. Premium feature.

Question 12

How accurate is the Trade Analyzer?

Accepted Answer

Our trade values are based on current projections, position scarcity, and (for dynasty) age curves and market trade data. Values update regularly to reflect the latest data.

Question 13

What is Ask the OWL?

Accepted Answer

Ask the OWL is an AI-powered fantasy football advisor built into SnapCount. Ask it any question — start/sit decisions, trade advice, waiver pickups, dynasty strategy — and get a data-informed answer. Premium subscribers get 10 questions per day.

Question 14

What are Player Comps?

Accepted Answer

Player Comps uses a similarity engine to compare current players against historical archetypes. It analyzes production metrics, usage patterns, and career trajectories to find the closest statistical matches and project future performance.

Question 15

How does the referral program work?

Accepted Answer

Go to your Account page and grab your referral code or link. Share it with a friend — when they sign up and subscribe to Premium, you automatically get 30 days of free Premium added to your subscription. There's no limit on how many friends you can refer.

Question 16

How often is data updated?

Accepted Answer

Rankings, projections, and player data refresh regularly throughout the day. Vegas odds update continuously. Injury reports are pulled from the latest available data.

Question 17

Where does your data come from?

Accepted Answer

Player data, projections, and trade values are sourced from trusted third-party APIs and updated regularly. We never fabricate stats or projections.
