How Drop Panic works

We only look at players who were rostered in 30% or more of leagues yesterday, so a deep bench name can't top the list.

Drop rate = pts rostered lost since yesterday ÷ yesterday's % rostered. Example: a player at 50.0% who falls to 45.0% lost 5.0 pts, so his drop rate is 10.0%: one in ten of his managers cut him.

A high drop rate on a starter usually means injury news, a lost job or a bye-week crunch. It can also be a buy-low if the panic looks early.
