Common questions

  • Should I trade Chris Olave for Josh Allen?

    No on value: Chris Olave is worth 90 and Josh Allen 69, a loss of 21. It can still help a lineup that needs a quarterback more than it needs Olave.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Chris Olave or Josh Allen?

    Chris Olave, 90 to 69. He rates 17.3 market points a game over 11 games left, against 22.8 over 11 for Josh Allen, 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. A replacement starter's rate is subtracted and the rest is multiplied by his games from Week 6 to Week 17, bye taken out. No expert opinion is involved.
