Common questions

  • Should I trade Nico Collins for Tee Higgins?

    No on value: Nico Collins is worth 57 and Tee Higgins 45, a loss of 12. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs Collins.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Nico Collins or Tee Higgins?

    Nico Collins, 57 to 45. He rates 15.4 market points a game over 9 games left, against 13.6 over 10 for Tee Higgins, 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.
