Common questions

  • Should I trade Malik Nabers for Saquon Barkley?

    No on value: Malik Nabers is worth 37 and Saquon Barkley 28, a loss of 9. It can still help a lineup that needs a running back more than it needs Nabers.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Malik Nabers or Saquon Barkley?

  • 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.
