How dynasty values work

Now
Current level in PPR points per game: this season (plus expected points from usage for RB, WR and TE), blended with last season, and pulled toward a typical player when there are only a few games to go on.
Next 3 seasons
Projected points per game, from age curves fit on every QB, RB, WR and TE season from 2018–2025. Running backs decline fastest after 24, receivers hold into their late 20s, quarterbacks age the slowest.
Rookies and second-year players
Lean on draft capital: what players drafted in the same range at the same position have scored, counting the ones who never got on the field.
Value
The next four seasons added up, with less weight on seasons further away, on a 0–100 scale. On the overall 1QB and superflex lists, value is measured above a replacement-level starter at the same position, so a top TE and a top WR compare fairly; superflex values QBs much higher. Position lists show raw value.

Values update every morning as the season goes. These are model values, not trade advice: injuries, contracts and depth-chart changes aren't fully captured.
