Common questions

  • Should I trade Chase Brown for DeVonta Smith?

    No on value: Chase Brown is worth 77 and DeVonta Smith 57, a loss of 20. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Brown.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Chase Brown or DeVonta Smith?

    Chase Brown, 77 to 57. He rates 15.4 market points a game over 11 games left, against 14.8 over 10 for DeVonta Smith, each measured above a replacement starter at his own position.

  • How are these trade values calculated?

    Each player's points per game is the median of the market-based PPR points we froze before each week's first kickoff, Weeks 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. A replacement starter's rate is subtracted and the rest is multiplied by his games from Week 7 to Week 17, bye taken out. No expert opinion is involved.
