Overview

RotoUpdate turns a firehose of NFL data into three decisions a fantasy manager actually has to make each week: who to start, who to trade for, and who to pick up. The platform ingests projections, rankings and news, caches aggressively, and presents everything in dense tables that still work on a phone.

Feature highlights

Decision-first homepage

Instead of a wall of headlines, the landing view routes straight into the three weekly decisions — start/sit, trades and rankings.

Consensus rankings engine

Rankings adjust to scoring format — Standard, Half PPR, Full PPR and SuperFlex — with tiers, byes and projections in one sortable table across 384 players.

Trade analyzer

Side-by-side player valuation with an instant verdict and a percentage gap, so a trade call takes seconds rather than a spreadsheet.

League sync

Connect a league to pull rosters, matchups and waiver context so rankings and advice are personalized rather than generic.

Fast data pipelines

Scheduled ingestion with cached feeds keeps pages instant during peak Sunday traffic without hammering upstream data sources.

Dense but readable UI

Tables, tiers and badges are tuned for scanning, with a dark theme, keyboard search and layouts that hold up from mobile to ultrawide.
