Real roster first. No fake projections.

Galaxy Fantasy is being rebuilt around the same rule as the picks product: if the data is not real, the advice stays locked. You can connect a real Sleeper roster now; projection-driven recommendations open only after the live data layer clears.

Roster: sync
Projections: gated
Actions: no-write

This page no longer presents fictional player pools as the primary product. Demo tools can remain internal methodology references, but the public path is data-first.

Real NFL usage backbone

Fantasy starts with rows, then earns recommendations.

The free-first layer is already reading nflverse player-week usage, roster, and schedule files. It can prove usage context and reject weak narrative angles today; it still cannot unlock projection-driven lineup, waiver, trade, DFS, or pick'em advice until those provider feeds are live.

Every tool, with its honest status

One directory, no dead ends. Each tool links straight through and shows whether it's live, partly live, or gated on a real data feed — never a design delay, never a fictional input.
