Free through end of 2026
Free tools, through the end of the year
Use these every week from now through the fantasy playoffs. They are free — no account, no paywall. The idea is simple: help you win now, and if it helps, subscribe to the weekly email — that's where the depth lives.
Waiver Wire Scanner
Every Tuesday, run the usage-jump checklist. Snap, target, or rush share up for 2+ weeks after an injury or trade — that is the stash signal, not one big box score.
Scan this week's waivers →Playoff Planner — Weeks 15–17
Plan your playoff run now. Enter your players, rate each playoff matchup easy / neutral / hard, and see how the win probability moves. No invented schedules — you rate the matchup, the tool does the math.
Plan your playoffs →Rest-of-Season Rankings
Blended from 2024–2025 points per game and 2026 usage. Not a ranking from another site — built from 2024–2025 points per game, 2026 usage, and snap share.
See rest-of-season →Start / Sit
Pick two players, get a head-to-head win probability — not just who ranks higher.
Compare players →PAR Trade Lab
Points Above Replacement, up to 4 players per side — built from real 2025/2026 PPG and snap share, not sample numbers.
Analyse a trade →Trades
Rest-of-season trade context, with the probability one side outscores the other.
Check a trade →The weekly newsletter
Every week: the board, one genuine coin-flip call, one name to sit, a trade thought, and the waiver pickups that actually matter. The depth lives here.
Read the newsletter →Free weekly email — subscribe on Substack
One probability-first email a week. No hot takes, no player propaganda — just the range of outcomes, and what would have to be true for the boom case.
The weekly email lives on Substack now — subscribing there puts you on the real list. A copy is also saved in this browser as a backup. The publication is at routetreereport.substack.com.

2026 weekly numbers are real, through Week 9, from Pro Football Reference (Nov 11, 2026). Older 2024–2025 evidence data is used for the backtest, snap share, and rest-of-season views, as labelled on those pages.
