Roster Positional Scarcity Calculator
Determine which positions are most scarce in your fantasy league by calculating the scarcity score — the ratio of starter production to replacement-level production. Higher scores indicate greater positional scarcity and more draft value.
Results will appear here.
Formulas Used
Total Starter Slots = Number of Teams × Starters Per Team
Scarcity Ratio = Average Starter Points ÷ Replacement Level Points
Supply Scarcity Index = Total Starter Slots ÷ Total Viable Players
(ranges 0–1; values near 1 indicate very tight supply)
VORP = (Average Starter Points − Replacement Level Points) × Scoring Multiplier
Adjusted VORP = VORP × Supply Scarcity Index
Positional Scarcity Score (PSS) = Scarcity Ratio × Supply Scarcity Index × 100
Surplus Players = Total Viable Players − Total Starter Slots
