Common questions

  • Should I trade DeVonta Smith for Malik Nabers?

    No on value: DeVonta Smith is worth 47 and Malik Nabers 37, a loss of 10. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Smith.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, DeVonta Smith or Malik Nabers?

    DeVonta Smith, 47 to 37. He rates 14.3 market points a game over 9 games left, against 13.2 over 9 for Malik Nabers, 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, 8. A replacement starter's rate is subtracted and the rest is multiplied by his games from Week 8 to Week 17, bye taken out. No expert opinion is involved.
