Frequently asked

Who has more dynasty value, Malik Nabers or Davante Adams?
Malik Nabers carries the higher dynasty value: 41.9 against 36.5, a gap of 5.4 points on our 0–100 superflex scale. Malik Nabers is 23 and Davante Adams is 33, 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, Davante Adams is worth more: 60.2 against 41.9. 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.
