Common questions

  • Should I trade Emanuel Wilson for Matthew Golden?

    No on value: Emanuel Wilson is worth 43 and Matthew Golden 34, a loss of 9. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Wilson.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Emanuel Wilson or Matthew Golden?

    Emanuel Wilson, 43 to 34. He rates 12.7 market points a game over 10 games left, against 12.6 over 10 for Matthew Golden, 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.
