Roster strength = 65% projected starting lineup + 25% projected bench depth + 10% positional balance. Weighted score is that roster strength alone until the first ballot is cast — no votes means the community score is unavailable, not zero. The roster components are scored against this league's own average and spread, so a 50 is a typical roster here rather than a fixed benchmark. Community is the average of every ballot's points, where a first-place vote is worth 95 and last is worth 15. Projections are ESPN's own season-long figures for each rostered player; the two performance columns switch to record and scoring once Week 1 is final.

Preseason recap

Team Hotel opens on top, with the league's strongest projected lineup coming out of the draft. No ballots have been submitted yet, so these rankings are on projected roster strength alone.
