How does Kelly decide start or sit?

By how often each player scores the most: Kelly draws 10,000 simulated games for each player from its projections in your scoring and counts the share each one comes out on top, ties split. Medians, floors and ceilings come from the same simulated games.

What do floor and ceiling mean?

The floor is the 10th percentile of a player's simulated games and the ceiling the 90th: he scores below his floor in 1 game in 10 and above his ceiling in 1 game in 10.
