Common questions

  • Should I trade David Montgomery for Devaughn Vele?

    No on value: David Montgomery is worth 21 and Devaughn Vele 12, a loss of 9. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Montgomery.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, David Montgomery or Devaughn Vele?

    David Montgomery, 21 to 12. He rates 10.5 market points a game over 10 games left, against 10.4 over 10 for Devaughn Vele, 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.
