Balladex — the NBA & NFL player database

Balladex is a free, independent NBA and NFL athlete database covering 3031 players across 67 teams. Every player has a single page with their life story, complete historical stats, analysis and outlook — plus a live MVP race, title-race power rankings, live scores, and head-to-head player comparisons. Player facts come from live league feeds and official records; model estimates like MVP odds and team grades are always labeled as projections. Balladex is created by Beau Thoutt.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are Balladex fantasy football projections calculated?

Balladex projects each NFL player's upcoming PPR fantasy season from a per-game model weighted by recency and games played, with position aging curves, opportunity (targets and carries) and quarterback rushing folded in, then ranks by value over replacement. Projections are transparent model estimates, labeled illustrative; the underlying stats are real.

What do The Desk's fantasy draft verdicts (VALUE, FAIR, FADE, SLEEPER) mean?

The Desk is Balladex's panel of AI analysts. On each fantasy player it gives a draft verdict relative to that player's typical draft cost: VALUE means worth more than his ADP, FAIR means priced right, FADE means overpriced, and SLEEPER means late-round upside. Verdicts are argued opinion, grounded in the player's real stats and the projection model.

Who are the top fantasy football players for 2026?

The Balladex model's current top projected PPR players include Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Ja'Marr Chase and Puka Nacua. The full draft board with tiers, ADP and a Desk verdict on every player is on the Balladex fantasy page, and it refreshes daily. Rankings are model estimates, labeled illustrative.

How are Balladex MVP odds calculated?

MVP odds come from the Balladex model, which weighs production, talent, age curve, availability, team strength and pedigree, then calibrates to real probabilities with a softmax over the top contenders. They recompute through the day as live stats update.

Are the stats on Balladex real?

Yes. Every career average, accolade and box-score line comes from live league feeds and official historical records. Model estimates — MVP odds, team grades and title odds — are always clearly labeled as Balladex projections.

How often does Balladex update?

Live scores, standings, player lines and news refresh through the day from the league feed, and the MVP and title-race models recompute on each update.

Is Balladex free to use?

Yes. Balladex is completely free to browse — every player page, team, comparison and all of the live models.

Can I compare two players head-to-head?

Yes. The Balladex Compare tool pairs any two players on shared metrics — points, rebounds, assists and more — so you can settle debates with data instead of takes.
