Common questions

  • Should I trade Jonathan Taylor for Josh Allen?

    No on value: Jonathan Taylor is worth 91 and Josh Allen 67, a loss of 24. It can still help a lineup that needs a quarterback more than it needs Taylor.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Jonathan Taylor or Josh Allen?

    Jonathan Taylor, 91 to 67. He rates 18.4 market points a game over 9 games left, against 23.5 over 10 for Josh Allen, 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.
