GridironIQ · 2026 Week 1

Know who you'd take. Know why.

Rankings, draft help and roster tools built from one GIQ player model and tuned to your league.

What GIQ publishes

One model, 72 league-specific boards.

GIQ fully covers all 489 current active-roster QB, RB, WR and TE players across 72 league boards. Selected verified reserve assets are preserved where appropriate, bringing the certified dataset to 35,952 ranking rows across Redraft, Dynasty and Keeper.

GIQ does not use ADP or expert consensus as a direct scoring input. Outside rankings can flag a disagreement worth researching, but the public board is built from the GIQ player model and the settings of the league.

How to use GIQ

Research first, tools when the decision gets real.

The public research pages explain how the model behaves. The interactive rankings let you change settings. Quick Pick learns how you break ties without changing True GIQ. Draft Room tracks a live draft. Season Manager carries the same player model into roster decisions.

Why the board is original

GIQ publishes the model's answer, not a rewritten consensus list.

Every public ranking starts with the same underlying player model and then moves through the scoring and league context selected by the user. That makes disagreements visible instead of smoothing them toward ADP. The value of the site is not that every rank will match another expert; it is that the reasoning stays consistent from one league setup to another and the assumptions can be inspected.

The current release also separates projection from uncertainty. A player's central point estimate is shown beside a likely floor and ceiling, role context and availability information. Dynasty and Keeper then translate that football profile across a longer time horizon rather than simply copying the Redraft order. Those differences are documented in GIQ Research with examples pulled directly from the same certified boards.

GIQ's product tools and its publisher content serve different jobs. Rankings, Compare, Quick Pick, Draft Room and Season Manager help with decisions. The research, methodology and curated player analysis explain why the model behaves the way it does. That separation is intentional so the site can be useful both as a working fantasy tool and as a transparent record of the model behind it.
