“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.
Trade value: what to ask for James
Our board has James Cook at RB5, #11 overall in PPR, and the market drafts him at ADP 11.3 (RB6). The market undervalues him by about 1 picks, so do not sell at his ADP price. Ask for a player ranked around #11 on our board, not around his ADP. He projects to 309.7 points (floor 216.3, ceiling 366.9).
RBs in that range on our board right now: Christian McCaffrey (#5, SF), Jonathan Taylor (#8, IND), De'Von Achane (#9, MIA), Chase Brown (#13, CIN), Derrick Henry (#15, BAL), Saquon Barkley (#18, PHI).
