Common questions

  • Should I trade Malik Nabers for Sam LaPorta?

    No on value: Malik Nabers is worth 36 and Sam LaPorta 25, a loss of 11. It can still help a lineup that needs a tight end more than it needs Nabers.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Malik Nabers or Sam LaPorta?

    Malik Nabers, 36 to 25. He rates 12.4 market points a game over 11 games left, against 11.8 over 11 for Sam LaPorta, 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.
