How these numbers work

Actual: points scored by the lineup the manager actually started that week (ESPN lineupSlotId at kickoff: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX, D/ST, K).

Optimal: the highest-scoring legal lineup chosen from the same week's rostered players (backtracking over eligible slots; empty slots score 0).

Efficiency = actual / optimal. Perfect weeks are weeks where actual equals optimal. Regular-season decided weeks only, 2018 on.
