Common questions

  • Should I trade Michael Wilson for Patrick Mahomes?

    No on value: Michael Wilson is worth 17 and Patrick Mahomes 6, a loss of 11. It can still help a lineup that needs a quarterback more than it needs Wilson.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Michael Wilson or Patrick Mahomes?

    Michael Wilson, 17 to 6. He rates 10.9 market points a game over 10 games left, against 17.4 over 11 for Patrick Mahomes, 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.
