Props research
The line, and what is inside it.
Every prop carries an assumption. Each posted line sits beside a projection, so you can see where the two part.

Questions
Everything you would ask before paying.
What is Nuvela?
An AI research desk for fantasy football. It reads the posted lines and the verified box-score data behind every prop line and lineup call, then shows you where the two disagree.
Why not just use a stats site?
Raw stats are everywhere. The work is connecting them to the question in front of you. Every read here carries the sample it rests on, the conditions attached to it, and the one thing that would flip it.
Who is it for?
Anyone who would rather understand why a line sits where it does than be handed a pick. Experience matters less than wanting to see the working.
What does it cover?
The NFL, in full. Every player, every week, across props and lineups. More leagues coming.
Does it replace my own rankings?
No. It gives you a second opinion with its reasoning attached, so you can disagree with it on the merits rather than on vibes.
Where does the data come from?
Verified box-score feeds plus posted player lines. A comparison is rebuilt whenever a projection, an injury report or a player line changes.
How is the call made?
We project each player's points for the week: from the consensus of his posted player lines, or from his usage when no line is posted yet. The highest projections fill your lineup spots and are called Start; the rest are Bench. Inside a toss-up, under a point apart, the projection alone does not decide it: the player who wins more of the stats that decide it gets the nod.
What can I research?
Usage and role, matchup history, pace, red-zone share, route participation, prop line context and schedule. Enough to work out what a line assumes, and whether that assumption holds up.
Does it predict results?
No. Football carries variance that no amount of data removes. We flag when a sample is too small to lean on, show the conditions attached to a read, and say what would have to be true for a call to land. Nothing here implies certainty.
Which scoring formats are supported?
PPR, Half PPR and Standard, with custom scoring available on paid plans.
Is it free?
Yes. 3 free credits before you sign up, 2 more in your first week, then 1 every week, on the same tools every paid plan gets. One credit is one question or one comparison. The paid plans buy you more of them, not more features.
How do I get started?
Create a free account and add the players you are deciding between. No card, and the free plan does not expire.
Is my data private?
Your research and your account data stay private. Neither is sold or shared with third parties. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Any time before your next billing date, and nothing is charged again. The trial runs seven days before the first charge, and cancelling leaves you on the free plan rather than locking you out.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds cover one billing period, weekly or monthly, and only while no credits have been spent on the account.
