Recent Results: From January 2-15, here is how my picks did. All numbers are fantasy points per 1,000 in salary.

5-star picks (44 picks): 4.736
4-star picks (103 picks): 4.820
3-star picks (149 picks): 4.769
2-star picks (122 picks): 5.030
1-star picks (36 picks): 3.946

Explanation of the stars after each pick:  Each one of my picks is ranked for the day on a scale of one to five stars. The more stars that a pick receives represents the more confident I am in that selection. Picks that I give five stars (∗∗∗∗∗) are players that you almost have to own and I have no reservations about owning at their price.  Players that get four stars (∗∗∗∗) are players that I think are strong picks to build your roster around.  Three-star players (∗∗∗) are middle-of-the-road solid picks who are fairly reliable to produce a good game. Picks receiving two stars (∗∗) are high-risk, high-reward players who do offer enough upside to be in my picks, but also have a significant risk factor that makes them dangerous.  One star (∗) players are picks that are the best option around that price point, but who I don’t think are great options.  I would take any one-star player over any option not in my picks, but they aren’t picks I would build my roster around.

If you have any feedback on the new star system or any other formatting changes that would be helpful to you, feel free to reach out on Twitter or in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
