Who should I start this week?
AVRA reads your exact roster, your league's scoring, and the matchup in front of you, then hands you the start/sit call with the swap and the why. Sleeper leagues sync live, so the call updates as injuries, weather, and market game totals move through the week.
How does AVRA decide who to start each week?
Every start/sit call starts with your actual roster, not a generic top-40 list. AVRA weighs the matchup grade, weather at kickoff, the injury report, market game totals, and each player's recent usage share, for every player you own at every position. Then AVRA pairs your highest-projected starter against the bench player who could realistically take the spot, and surfaces the one swap with the biggest projected point swing. You get the call, the projected points gained, and the plain-language reasoning behind it, refreshed as the week moves.
What's the swap, and why does it matter more than a ranking?
A start/sit call is only useful if it names the trade you're actually weighing: this starter, or that guy on your bench. AVRA doesn't hand you a ranked list and leave the math to you. It runs the comparison directly, shows the projected points gained from making the swap, and explains why in plain terms, matchup, health, weather, or workload. If the numbers say your current starter is still the right call, AVRA says that too, and tells you why the bench option doesn't clear the bar.
How accurate are AVRA's start/sit calls?
AVRA's start/sit calls are part of the same record as every other call AVRA makes: 18 of 18 weeks beat the public consensus in the 2025 backtest, across 25,786 graded calls, 65.04% right per call, honestly, and nobody honest is running much higher than that. Every call is registered before kickoff and scored after the games, wins and misses both, so the record isn't cherry-picked after the fact. The full methodology, including how much of that was luck, is public at tryavra.com/proof.
Do I need Sleeper to get start/sit advice?
Start/sit calls run on live league data, and today that means Sleeper: AVRA reads your league's scoring, roster slots, and current lineup automatically, so the call is always built for your team, not a generic average. AVRA makes the call and never the move; every change is yours to make in Sleeper. ESPN, Yahoo, and CBS aren't supported yet. AVRA is free during the open beta, so join the waitlist at tryavra.com and start getting the weekly call as more seats open.
Once your lineup is set, see who else in your league wants what you have with the trade analyzer, find the right add with the waiver wire FAAB calculator, check your Sleeper sync status, or build your board with the draft assistant.
Frequently asked questions
Should I start a player facing bad weather or a tough matchup?
AVRA folds wind, rain, and cold directly into the projection for every player playing outdoors, alongside the matchup grade for the defense they're facing. If weather or matchup drags a starter's projection below your best bench option, AVRA surfaces the swap. If it doesn't move the number enough to matter, AVRA leaves your lineup alone and says so.
What if my player is questionable with an injury?
AVRA reads the latest injury designation and factors in the snap-count risk that usually comes with it, then re-projects that player against your bench options. A questionable tag doesn't automatically trigger a bench call; AVRA only recommends the swap when the health risk actually changes who wins the matchup on paper.
How often do start/sit recommendations update?
Calls first refresh Tuesday morning after Monday Night Football, then update continuously through the week as injury reports, weather, and market game totals change, with final lineup calls landing Sunday morning before kickoff.
Do I have to set my lineup in AVRA?
No. AVRA reads your Sleeper league and tells you the call; you make the actual lineup move in Sleeper. AVRA doesn't set lineups for you or require a separate app to manage your team.
