Our Methodology
Our values aren't opinions. They're reverse-engineered from millions of real trades in hundreds of thousands of active leagues. That only builds trust if we show our work, so these short articles explain the decisions behind the numbers: what we measure, what we filter, and where the judgment calls live.
How We Turn Real Trades Into Player Values
Every trade is an equation. Solving millions of them at once recovers what the market actually pays for every player and pick.
Packages, 1-for-1s, and the Value Curve
Why one stud costs more than three good players, why package trades are noisy signals, and why our curve is steeper than other sites on purpose.
Keeping Bad Trades Out of Your Values
Collusion, giveaway trades, and low-effort leagues are real. The layers of filtering that keep them from reaching your rankings.
TE Premium: Measured, Not Guessed
We measured what TE premium scoring actually does to trade prices, including a few results that surprised us.
How We Value Draft Picks
Nearly half of traded future 1sts land late, so why aren’t they priced like late picks? Convexity, clean market signals, and the limits of pick certainty.
