Methodology & Data Sources

LitFantasy combines public fantasy football data sources into a single, research-friendly view. We believe in giving credit where it is due and being transparent about where our numbers come from.

Where our data comes from

• Fantasy Football Calculator — We use FFC's public ADP REST API for Average Draft Position data across PPR, half-PPR, standard, 2-QB, and dynasty formats. Used with FFC's ADP REST API terms. Learn more at fantasyfootballcalculator.com.
• nflverse — Player identifiers, rosters, weekly and season stats, depth charts, snap counts, and schedule/bye-week data come from the nflverse-data project. Data from nflverse is licensed under CC-BY 4.0. LitFantasy modifies the source data by aggregating, joining, and normalizing it across sources for use in our ranking and research features.

How often data refreshes

Our data pipeline pulls and refreshes source data typically several times per day, so rankings, ADP, and player context stay current without hammering upstream APIs.

How we present the data

LitFantasy doesn't roll everything into a single ranking number. Instead, we show projections, ADP, positional context, and other signals side-by-side, with color-coded percentile gradients on each column so you can quickly see how a player compares to their peers on any given metric. You weigh the signals; we just make them easy to read.
