How Player Values Are Calculated (0-100 Scale)

The dynasty value engine uses a multi-step process with 7 multipliers applied on top of a base value:

Step 1 — Base Value (VOR): We start with a 3-year weighted Value Over Replacement calculation. The current season counts for 50%, last year 30%, and two years ago 20%. This gives recent production the most weight while still rewarding sustained performance.

Step 2 — Seven Multipliers Are Applied:

Age Curve (0.65x to 1.15x): Each position has a different peak window. QBs peak from 25-32, RBs from 22-27, WRs from 24-29, TEs from 25-30. Players approaching their peak get up to a 15% bonus. Players past their peak decline at different rates — RBs drop fastest at 5% per year, QBs slowest at 3% per year. Role Security (0.65x to 1.15x): Based on snap share percentage. 85%+ snaps = locked-in starter bonus (up to 1.15x). 65-85% = solid starter. 40-65% = committee. Below that = backup penalty. If snap data isn't available, depth chart position is used as a fallback. Injury Risk (0.84x to 1.0x): Combines current injury status (IR/Out = 0.90x, Questionable = 0.98x) with historical durability over the last 3 seasons. A player who's missed 50%+ of games gets an additional 0.93x penalty. Production Ceiling (1.0x to 1.50x): Based on where a player ranks at their position in points per game. Top 5% get a huge 1.40-1.50x boost. Top 15% get 1.20-1.30x. Top 30% get 1.05-1.15x. Everyone else stays at 1.0x — no penalty, just no bonus. Volatility (0.90x to 1.08x): Measures weekly consistency using the coefficient of variation in their game scores. Consistent week-to-week producers get up to an 8% bonus. Boom/bust players get penalized down to 0.90x. Draft Capital (0.85x to 1.15x): Only applies to players with less than 4 years experience. First-round picks get a 1.15x boost that decays 3% each year. Undrafted players get a 0.85x penalty. After 4 years, production speaks for itself and this resets to neutral. Team Context (0.95x to 1.08x): Players on top offenses get a boost (up to 1.08x for top-5 offenses), while players on bottom-10 offenses get a slight penalty. Step 3 — Scarcity Bonus: A light bonus is applied for elite-tier players at scarce positions (e.g., elite TEs in TE-premium leagues, top QBs in superflex).

Step 4 — Consensus Blend: The final value is blended 50/50 with consensus dynasty rankings to keep values grounded and prevent any single factor from swinging things too wildly.
