The answer

Rankings and BUY/SELL/HOLD calls come from Dynasty Cheat Code’s own model. We may run ads to support the site. Rankings are never pay-to-play — see /price-charts and /about.

On methodology, the operational rule is quoted, not paraphrased: “No. We do not ingest any third-party rankings or market prices at all.” (/methodology)

The honest holdout lives on /track-record:

• Our model does not beat “just use last year’s points.”
• Walk-forward backtest · 2022–2025, following 4 seasons (440 players).
• The honest headline: ranking players by last season’s points per game predicts future production better than our dynasty value does.
• Last season’s PPG 0.660 | Multi-season PPG blend 0.566 | DCC value 0.601

Dynasty Cheat Code is a solo, independent project (/about). Verdicts and values are never sponsored. There is no Pro tier.

Named inputs appear on /methodology only: Sleeper rosters and depth charts; nflverse production and draft records. We do not add nflverse to /about.

Both lines stand; we do not reconcile them. From /about: the model “blends production, age, draft capital, and market signals.” From /methodology: “we do not ingest any third-party rankings or market prices at all.”

Values updated Sep 1, 2026 is the freshness stamp on live boards.
