Frequently asked
- Who has more dynasty value, Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Puka Nacua?
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba carries the higher dynasty value: 87.2 against 82.7, a gap of 4.5 points on our 0–100 superflex scale. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is 24 and Puka Nacua is 25, and dynasty pricing applies position-specific age decay on top of a market-derived value curve, not fantasy point projections.
- Which player is better for redraft leagues?
- For win-now redraft leagues, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is worth more: 87.2 against 82.7. Redraft strips out the age-decay term entirely, which is why the two formats can disagree on the same pair of players.
- How does league size affect this trade?
- Value is measured against the replacement-level starter at each position, and that baseline moves with league size. In a 14-team league the waiver pool is thin, so established starters like these hold more relative value. In an 8-team league the drop-off to a replacement WR is much smaller, which compresses the gap and makes draft picks comparatively more attractive.
