Common questions

  • Should I trade DK Metcalf for Tyler Shough?

    No on value: DK Metcalf is worth 30 and Tyler Shough 19, a loss of 11. It can still help a lineup that needs a quarterback more than it needs Metcalf.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, DK Metcalf or Tyler Shough?

    DK Metcalf, 30 to 19. He rates 11.8 market points a game over 11 games left, against 18.2 over 11 for Tyler Shough, 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.
