Common questions

  • Should I trade Trey McBride for Zay Flowers?

    No on value: Trey McBride is worth 84 and Zay Flowers 66, a loss of 18. It can still help a lineup that needs a receiver more than it needs McBride.

  • Who has more rest-of-season value, Trey McBride or Zay Flowers?

    Trey McBride, 84 to 66. He rates 17.1 market points a game over 11 games left, against 15.1 over 11 for Zay Flowers, 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.
