Actually, I was looking to learn what people's positional baselines are when considering the value of player production. The answers were surprising indeed. For example, the vast majority of respondents preferred 16 games of an 11 ppg WR over 12 games of a 12 ppg WR. To me, that's insane. It...

Correct. This is what I was going for. Thanks!

Hey all, I write about dynasty over at DLF, and I'm conducting a short player valuation survey. I'd like to get opinions from across the community, so if you have five minutes, please help me out! link deleted

FWIW, I recently saw Charles go 3.08 in a 12-team, 2-RB minimum league.

Trust me, I've had buyer's remorse much quicker than this!

I would've made the same offer for AJG/Dez/Julio/AB, but I own Dez and Julio, and I'm pretty sure the AJG owner would've declined. First time I've paid full price for Beckham (own him in 4/8 dynasties). Can't say I have any buyer's remorse.

QB scoring: .035/pyd 3/pTD -1/INT .08/rushyd 4/rushYD RB/WR/TE scoring is typical PPR, .1/rryd, 6/rrTD

Agreed. But in Denver's defense, this wasn't his trade. And he did mention 3 points per passing TD. Sometimes it's tough to balance too much info against too little. And, btw, I'd be quite surprised if a QB went in the top three.

I bought Beckham here, and I agree it was a bit of an overpay. A couple things to note, though: 1. Though it's a superflex, QBs aren't essential. Luck was the QB1 last year, but he would've been the WR8 in ppg. I typically start only 1 QB. 2. I felt like I could afford to take the risk on...

I counted a #4 WR season as exactly 0 points. A mid-#3 WR (WR30) season was worth about 15 points. A mid-#2 WR (WR18) season was worth about 65 points. A mid-#1 WR (WR6) season was worth about 120 points -- eight times as much as a #3 WR season. So explain exactly how this "misses the boat"...

:lmao:

No one's disputing that height is an advantage. The question is this: if a dynasty owner is debating between two rookies drafted in the early second of the NFL draft, should he care that one is 5'11" and the other is 6'3"?

I defined career value based on VBD with a baseline of WR36. So an "average" NFL season wouldn't register. And a WR30 performance won't matter much either. I believe this addresses your concern. Unless maybe you think the baseline should have been higher?

None of that is news. But it also doesn't address the relevant question:

I'll tease out the numbers on weight alone and try to do some things with BMI. Any magic numbers I should test?ETA: for those who use metrics, how do you control for draft position?
