Refresher: Dead $ includes guys who are 1/ injured, 2/ benched/cut like Tannehill, Garoppolo, Maher, as well as 3/ those who are still playing but like never breaking above 8 points like Tank Bigsby (exceptions allowed for K/D).
Mostly Dead $ includes guys who like maybe broke above the 8-point threshold once or twice this season but they are routinely posting scores of 5 or less. This week I added Josh Reynolds and Noah Fant to this group. Kenneth Gainwell is the most widely-owned player in this category, followed by Jalin Hyatt, Juwan Johnson, and Skyy Moore. This is also where I park guys whose status for next week seems very up in the air... Aaron Jones, Kenneth Walker, etc... not officially dead yet, but probably not their usual selves even if they do see the field, but if they do get upgraded to active/starting, I remove them from Mostly Dead.
Finally, I'm hoping not to jinx myself by peeking ahead to include the Week 13 Bye $ (since everyone plays on Week 12). Of course, some players will move in/out of the Dead $ categories between now and then (and even for Week 12 still), and the composition of the field will change after the Week 12 cuts, but this is just a snapshot of where we're at right now. Currently living teams average ~$32 on bye in week 13 (and that's only for players who aren't already counted under Dead/Mostly Dead $)
| Wk 12 Dead $ | Wk 12 Dead + Mostly Dead $ | Wk 13 Dead + Mostly Dead + Bye |
$10- | 16% | 6% | 0% |
$10-29 | 41% | 25% | 2% |
$30-49 | 29% | 34% | 13% |
$50-69 | 12% | 25% | 27% |
$70-89 | 2% | 9% | 31% |
$90-109 | 0% | 1% | 19% |
$110+ | 0% | 0% | 8% |
I think it makes most sense to include the "Mostly Dead" when comparing relative to where other teams are at... and I'm at $50 this week, which is 65th percentile there... a bit higher than one would hope, but not obscene. Average is $41.
However, my week 13 is looking really good by comparison if I can survive week 12, as I'd only be at $53 that week, which is definitely on the lower end (average is $74).
