Weekly recaps

Fantasy football weekly recaps from final Sleeper scores

Tell the story of the whole week. A good recap does more than name the winner. It captures the result that shaped the week and keeps every final score close at hand.

Leagueborn waits until every matchup is final before it publishes the recap. Until then, you'll see live scores—never a finished story pretending to be final.

The whole week

One story, every score.

Lead with the matchup people will talk about. Keep the rest of the league visible. No one should have to hunt for their score.

01 / The headline

The result that changed the week

The lead matchup names both teams, the winner, the final score, and the margin. No projection or in-progress lead gets dressed up as a result.

02 / The context

Only what the league can prove

Records, standings, and transactions add color when Sleeper provides them. Leagueborn never invents a play-by-play timeline the data cannot support.

03 / Every matchup

No one gets left out

Every team appears once, and every final stays in view. Anyone in the league can check the recap against Sleeper in seconds.

From live to final

We wait for the week to finish.

A recap should never race the scoreboard. Live scores stay labeled as live until the week is final.

While games are live

  1. Gather every matchup and score for the week.
  2. Keep changing scores clearly labeled as live.
  3. Wait until the week is final before publishing the recap.

Once the week is over

Leagueborn does not publish from a live board. The confirmation rules—including the 15-minute double-check, why Tuesday is not enough, and later stat corrections—are on How Leagueborn verifies a fantasy week is final.

Read an example recap to see a finished week with every final score.

Today, Leagueborn works with Sleeper. A week with a missing matchup or missing score stays unpublished because we won't fill in the gaps. Scheduled byes and unpaired playoff slates can still publish.

The fine print

What is in a recap?

One headline result, the context the data can support, and every final score from the week.
When is a fantasy football weekly recap ready?
After every matchup has a score, Sleeper has advanced, and two checks at least 15 minutes apart return the same results.
What happens if a score changes during confirmation?
Leagueborn starts the check again. A score that changed is not ready to become part of the recap.
Does AI decide who won?
No. Leagueborn reads the score and winner from Sleeper. Writing can make the recap livelier, but it cannot change the result.
Why show every final score?
Because the recap belongs to the whole league. Everyone should be able to find their result and check it against Sleeper.
