What the verdict is built from
Every player in the pool carries two numbers from our projection model: rest-of-season points (PPR by default) and value over replacement — the slice of those points above what a replacement-level player at the same position would score. Replacement here is the best player at that position who isn't in anyone's starting lineup: in a 12-team league with one starting quarterback, that's roughly the 13th-best quarterback. He's usually sitting on a bench rather than on the waiver wire, which makes this a stricter bar than "better than a free agent" — a player has to beat the best backup in the league to count for anything here.
The verdict sums value over replacement, not raw points, because raw points flatter the wrong trades: a QB who outscores a wide receiver by 40 points can still be the worse asset when startable QBs are easy to find and startable receivers are not. Roughly 80 points of value equal one expected head-to-head win, which is the "≈ wins" readout next to the verdict.
Why 2-for-1s look different here
Static value charts add both sides up, which is how managers talk themselves into losing depth-for-star trades. Replacement logic cuts the other way: the roster spot a departing bench player opens up gets refilled at replacement level, so a fair 2-for-1 usually requires the "1" to be clearly the best player in the deal — how much better depends on the gap between your bench and what you can replace it with. The write-up on our mutual-benefit trade algorithm covers the roster-context version of this logic, and dynasty trade value modeling extends it to multi-season formats.
Public values vs. league-aware values
This public pool is priced for a 12-team PPR league. Scoring settings move real value — tight-end premium, superflex, and deeper benches can shuffle whole tiers — so a connected ESPN or Sleeper league swaps in values computed against your actual settings and rosters. The pool refreshes nightly from the same projections behind the rankings board and cheat sheet, so the calculator can't quote a different price than the boards do.
