Adjustable Dynasty Trade Value App

As we enter the 2022 off-season, we are making continued improvements to our customizable trade value app. In the newest update, we have refined the process for adjusting player values for different league sizes, settings, and scoring formats. The app now calculates replacement level scoring thresholds by looking at past Footballguys consensus projections to determine which players would have been likely to be in starting lineups in your league given your scoring settings, number of teams, and starting lineup options. We also have built a new algorithm to calculate projected 2022 fantasy value that takes into account current redraft ADPs based upon thousands of real drafts on Underdog Fantasy. These baseline numbers are re-calculated to estimate each player's 2022 value for your league.

Instructions

1. Use the "Customize League Scoring" tab to make adjustments to re-calculate dynasty values specific to your league format and settings.
2. Give it a few seconds to update, the app recalculates projected and actual fantasy points from each week of the 2021 season, then determines which players would have been starters in your league, and then compares their actual fantasy score to the baseline score at their position (lowest projected fantasy score for a starter at the position).
3. Check the Rookie Values tab to see how the incoming rookies should be valued in your league. This tab will also give you a great estimate of the value of specific 2022 rookie picks in your actual league.

Upcoming Additions

1. In future months, we will add visualizations for you to see how many weeks each player was projected to be a starter in your league.
2. We will fix a naming convention bug between different data sources that causes some players' 2021 value to not show up (e.g. D.J. Moore). Please note this does not impact the player's projected 2022 value or dynasty value.
3. Add an enhanced dynasty trade evaluator feature with customized trade advice.
4. Some more advanced scoring options. (Please drop me a note at hindery@footballguys.com for specific scoring requests and I will do my best to accommodate).
