It’s a fair point that he’ll replace his flex WR with his WR2 in this case. So if I add that, with the flex avg being WRs 20-25, the difference between the WR2 avg (11.3) and the flex avg (10.0). That’s an extra 1.3. 1.8 ppg total by adding Evans. Unless he has some miserable flex players, he’s still not making up the 4 points above replacement that Zuerlien provides



Your exercise still does not quantify the true value of WR over a K

You're also basing your value on 10 team leagues and arbitrarily assigning a flex value range. This can be spun in many different directions, like someone said, it doesnt exist in a vacuum. There are so many moving parts and factors that simply cannot be accounted for

The only knock on Evans going forward is the suspension in a good matchup. The QB thing doesnt fly, he's got an 18.5 burger in Fitz only start thus far.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in the fact that you have to explain the value of a WR over a K.

Has Greg really been that good this season? Is he having one of the greatest seasons of all time for a K?

Only way I can see this thread being remotely sane

And he has a 0 burger in half a game with Fitz last week

Yes I did assume a 10 team league, since that’s the standard. Many leagues are larger, but I’m going with the standard here. And the flex value range is pretty standard. In a 10 team league, your average flex is a RB or WR ranked in the top 25 of their position. Assuming every team has a standard spread of players in their skill positions. That’s an assumption yes, but we know nothing about this guy’s team, and he could be WR rich or WR poor or average

The main point I’m making with this is Greg has some value and this isn’t as laughable a trade as it sounds when you don’t know anything about their stats. It’s not “lol this guy wants to trade me a WR1 for a random kicker”
