What can Scout answer?

Scout covers start/sit calls, waiver-wire questions, trade evaluations, rankings questions, and news questions, all in plain language.

The core question types

Start/sit: ask which of two or three players to start in a given week, and Scout weighs the matchup and the current information it has on each player.

Waivers: ask whether a free agent is worth a claim, and against whom on your team.

Trades: describe a trade offer and Scout evaluates both sides for your team, not just player-for-player value in the abstract.

Rankings and news: ask where a player ranks this week, or what a headline actually changes for your team.

What it will not do

Scout will not invent a stat, a score, or a name it cannot back up. If a question needs data it cannot find, it says that plainly instead of answering anyway.

Scout does not place bets or manage your lineup for you without you asking. It answers only the question you give it.

Asked & answered

What can Scout answer?

Can Scout compare two players for me?

Yes. Give it two names and the decision you are weighing (start/sit, trade, or draft), and Scout compares them with the specific players and week in mind rather than a generic ranking.

Can I ask Scout about a trade before I accept it?

Yes. Describe the players on each side and Scout evaluates the trade for your team. The free trade analyzer tool does the same job without a Scout question if you would rather not use one of your daily questions.
