re: I'm being offered Mike Evans for Greg Zuerlien lol, should I?

You’re comparing a position that starts 1 guy (K) to a position that can be started in 3-4 spots in some leagues (WR) If you could start Zuerlein at WR you may be on to something

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

None of that includes Evans being suspended though. Losing that added point differential for one week of 1.8 pts with only 7 weeks remaining means the person getting Evans loses out on 1/7th of the point differential that they traded for. If you do a total point differential based on remaining weeks, that means the person loses out on even more than the 2.2 ppg that I’ve already shown. It’s becomes 2.5 ppg difference

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.

Take Evans and run. This is absurd.

Regardless of all the points y’all have made I’m keeping Greg every time. EVERY TIME.

OBJ rookie year I really did that trade though

He's comparing Mike Evans to an unreasonable assumption for the replacement value in order to tank his relative value.

The easy response is guys like Butker, Prater and Forbath of late have all been extremely value in terms of 15-20 point outbursts

So guess that means i should go trade AJ Green for Forbath because AJ is “underperforming”

Marshon Lattimore's historic season is well documented, check it out

I honestly didn't even know that Greg Zuerlin was the top K in fantasy this year until this thread

That, is why you fail.


For real though, I have Greg in as many leagues as I was able to grab him in.

I would probably do this trade though, but it's not as sure of a thing as it normally would be.
