Common questions

  • Should I trade Jonathan Taylor for Kyren Williams?

    No on value: Jonathan Taylor is worth 104 and Kyren Williams 86, a loss of 18. It can still help a lineup that needs a running back more than it needs Taylor.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Jonathan Taylor or Kyren Williams?

    Jonathan Taylor, 104 to 86. He rates 18.8 market points a game over 10 games left, against 17.0 over 10 for Kyren Williams, 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.
