Dynasty Cheat Code FAQ
Short answers drawn from the live methodology and track record. Full essays stay on those pages — this hub only points you there. We do not invent validation numbers here.
Are these copied market rankings?
Displayed values come from Dynasty Cheat Code's own market-aware model. We do not sell or republish consensus ranks. Full scoring story on /methodology and /how-values-work.
Methodology →How is a displayed player value calculated?
The model combines multi-season production, a position-specific age curve, role stability, draft pedigree, next-season opportunity, upside, contract, and risk. Exact weighting is proprietary — see /methodology and /how-values-work.
How a DCC value is built →Why can a hot player still be a sell?
Calls are a forward-looking outlook, not a price comparison. A productive player can still read bearish if age, role, or opportunity points down. Elite assets are protected from blunt sell labels. How to read the call: /how-to-use-buy-sell.
How to use buy/sell →How do Superflex and TE premium change values?
The format layer accounts for positional scarcity. Quarterbacks rise in Superflex and 2QB; premium tight ends get a format-specific lift. Details on /methodology.
Methodology · formats →How often are values refreshed?
In-season the values job runs Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Freshness is stamped as-of on tool pages. If values age past 72 hours in-season or 7 days in the offseason, a site-wide banner warns you.
Refresh & freshness SLA →Do private Sleeper leagues import?
Yes. Paste a username, league ID, or the league URL from the Sleeper app. Private leagues import the same way as public ones — Sleeper’s read API returns them. A missing league is a wrong or deleted ID, not a privacy wall.
Import a league →Does Dynasty Cheat Code beat last year’s points?
No — on the published walk-forward, last-season PPG correlates at 0.660 and DCC value at 0.601. We publish that because it is true. Buy/sell still shows signal among high-level producers (small samples). Source of truth: /track-record.
Track record →The honest ranking note
Naive PPG currently beats DCC on the published metric. That does not rewrite the board — and it does not erase buy/sell signal among high-level producers. Plain-English read: why last year’s PPG beats us. Numbers live only on /track-record.
