What a daily digest is for

A digest is the day's fantasy-relevant news in the order it matters to a starting lineup. Not a feed of everything that happened — a read of what changed and who it changes things for: a starter ruled out, a backfield that just became a committee, a receiver whose target share is about to move because somebody ahead of him is gone.

The organising question is always "what would you do differently on Sunday". A transaction that alters nobody's lineup is a fact, not news, and it does not earn a paragraph here. That is also why a genuinely quiet day produces no digest at all rather than a padded one — publishing something every day regardless of whether anything happened is how a daily surface teaches people to stop reading it.

Digests are drafted with AI assistance from reporting we cite, and each one is labelled as such at the top. Before publishing we check that every player named appears in the day's sourced reporting — deliberately a lower bar than the deep dives clear, because a digest summarises news others have already reported rather than arguing a case of its own. Player details come from the same live data our alerting runs on, refreshed daily. Our editorial policy covers sourcing and review, and corrections records what we got wrong.

If you want the same information as it breaks rather than as a daily summary, that is what the alerting product does — filtered to the players actually available in your league.
