“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 Rico

Our board has Rico Dowdle at RB32, #76 overall in PPR, and the market drafts him at ADP 75.4 (RB29). The market prices him about 3 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #75, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #76. He projects to 188.5 points (floor 95.1, ceiling 245.7).

RBs in that range on our board right now: Jaylen Warren (#63, PIT), TreVeyon Henderson (#64, NE), Jadarian Price (#69, SEA), Tony Pollard (#70, TEN), Chuba Hubbard (#81, CAR), J.K. Dobbins (#86, DEN).
