Frequently Asked Questions

To evaluate a trade fairly, consider: 1) Player performance metrics and consistency, 2) Team needs and roster depth, 3) Playoff schedule impact, 4) Injury risk and age factors, 5) League scoring settings. Our AI analyzer uses advanced algorithms that factor in all these elements to provide unbiased trade evaluations.

Player trade value depends on: positional scarcity (RB, QB are premium), recent performance trends, upcoming matchups, injury status, team role (starter vs backup), age and contract status, and league scoring format. Elite players at scarce positions typically hold the highest trade value.

Trade when an offer improves your roster at a price that fits your competitive window. Check your league deadline before negotiating; the platform, season, and commissioner settings determine when trading closes. Contenders can address lineup gaps, while rebuilding dynasty teams may exchange current production for younger players or future picks. Leave time for counteroffers and trade review.

Positional scarcity refers to the limited availability of quality players at certain positions. Running backs (RB) and elite quarterbacks (QB) are typically scarce, making them more valuable. Wide receivers (WR) are generally more abundant, making top-tier WRs valuable but depth easier to find.

Injuries significantly impact trade value: minor injuries may cause temporary drops, while major injuries can destroy value. Consider injury history, recovery timeline, player age, and whether the injury affects their role. Sometimes buying low on injured stars can be profitable if they recover well.

"Buy low, sell high" means acquiring underperforming players at reduced prices (buy low) when their value is temporarily down, and trading overperforming players at peak value (sell high). This strategy requires patience and understanding that player performance will regress toward their true talent level.

Ideal roster construction varies by league format, but general principles include: secure elite RBs early due to scarcity, build WR depth, target QBs with high floors and ceilings, don't overpay for TEs unless elite, and always maintain draft capital for in-season moves. Balance immediate needs with long-term flexibility.

When preparing for fantasy playoffs, confirm the playoff weeks in your league settings. Prioritize healthy starters, useful injury replacements, and defenses with suitable matchups for those weeks. Keep enough depth to cover late injuries and avoid dropping a reliable alternative solely for a speculative stash. In dynasty leagues, weigh short-term upgrades against their future cost.

Waiver wire aggression depends on league competitiveness and team needs. Generally prioritize: streaming defenses/kickers, handcuffing your key players, adding emerging breakout candidates, and addressing bye week needs. Don't overpay for one-week producers unless desperate.

Fantasy football is a game where you act as a team manager, drafting real NFL players to create a virtual team. Your players earn points based on their actual NFL performance (yards, touchdowns, etc.). You compete against other managers in your league, with the goal of having the highest total points to make playoffs and win championships.

Fantasy drafts can be snake-style (order reverses each round) or auction-style (budget to bid on players). In snake drafts, you select one player per round in your draft position. In auctions, everyone can bid on any player until they're sold. Research player values and create cheat sheets to prepare.

Common scoring includes: PPR (Point Per Reception) where WRs/Tes gain value, standard scoring where only touchdowns/yards matter, and half-PPR as a compromise. League settings vary, so always review your specific scoring rules. Understanding your scoring system is crucial for player valuation.

The analyzer sends the players you enter to an AI model to generate a trade comparison, explanations, and recommendations. PRO analyses can also use searched player updates. If the AI service is unavailable, a basic comparison can use the available player values. Review the result alongside your league rules, current news, and roster needs.

Trade analysis is a decision aid, not a prediction of a guaranteed result. Injuries, playing time, scoring rules, and future performance can change a trade outcome. The displayed trade rating summarizes the comparison; it is not a measured probability of success. Review the explanation and verify current player information before deciding.
