Roster Tab Overhaul: Positional Heatmaps, Team Windows, and Value History
feature · rosters · commissioner
The Roster tab just got its biggest upgrade yet. What used to be a ranked list of dynasty values now paints a full picture of every team's makeup, where they're strong, where they're weak, and what phase of their dynasty lifecycle they're in.
Positional Strength Heatmap
A new table below the roster rankings compares every team's dynasty value across QB, RB, WR, and TE. Each cell is color-coded on a smooth gradient from green (league-best) to red (league-worst), making positional advantages and holes instantly visible.
Toggle between Total Roster and Starters Only to see whether a team's depth matches their starting lineup strength. A team might rank #1 in total WR value but only #5 in starter WR value, and that's bench depth waiting to be traded.
Team Window Labels
Every team now carries a window classification badge right next to their name in the roster rankings:
- Contender — Real title equity in the projections, built to win now
- Competing — Strong playoff odds, in the mix
- Limbo — Not good enough to compete, not enough draft capital to rebuild — but still able to make moves
- Rebuilding — Below-average starters, investing heavily in draft capital
- Bottomed Out — Bottom quartile in both starter value and pick value
Windows are computed from starter value rank, pick value rank, pick investment ratio, and value-weighted starter age, not just one metric.
Commissioner Tab: Roster Analysis
Commissioners get a new Roster Analysis sub-tab with two views:
Team Windows Table — The full breakdown with sortable columns for starter value, pick value, pick percentage, and average age. Click any header to sort.
Roster Value Over Time — A multi-line chart tracking how each team's total roster value has changed over time, based on available historical data. Toggle picks on or off to isolate player value trends.
More Improvements
- Draft board card colors now reflect the hindsight (revisionist) grade instead of the draft-day grade, so a player who went from C+ to A- glows green
- Multi-team trade filter — select multiple teams in the Trades tab to see only trades between those partners
- Average value per trade column in the Team Summary table
- "All seasons" button on the league selection page for one-click multi-season selection
- Multi-select league filter on the dashboard to combine any subset of seasons
