Common questions

  • Should I trade DK Metcalf for Michael Wilson?

    No on value: DK Metcalf is worth 26 and Michael Wilson 17, a loss of 9. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Metcalf.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, DK Metcalf or Michael Wilson?

    DK Metcalf, 26 to 17. He rates 11.8 market points a game over 10 games left, against 10.9 over 10 for Michael Wilson, 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.
