Common questions

  • Should I trade DJ Moore for Malik Washington?

    No on value: DJ Moore is worth 20 and Malik Washington 9, a loss of 11. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Moore.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, DJ Moore or Malik Washington?

    DJ Moore, 20 to 9. He rates 11.1 market points a game over 10 games left, against 10.0 over 10 for Malik Washington, 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.
