Common questions

  • Should I trade Travis Kelce for Tucker Kraft?

    No on value: Travis Kelce is worth 32 and Tucker Kraft 20, a loss of 12. It can still help a lineup that needs a tight end more than it needs Kelce.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Travis Kelce or Tucker Kraft?

    Travis Kelce, 32 to 20. He rates 12.3 market points a game over 11 games left, against 11.4 over 10 for Tucker Kraft, 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.
