How good is this?

We rebuilt the values as of the start of past seasons using only data available then (curves, weights and draft priors refitted on earlier seasons) and compared the order with what players actually scored over the next three seasons (PPR, weighted 1.0 / 0.8 / 0.6). Rank correlation (Spearman): 1 = perfect order, 0 = random. Baseline = ranking by last season's total points.

As ofOur top 200Baseline's top 200Top-24 hits
2022 (2022-2024)0.55 vs 0.500.69 vs 0.6010/24 vs 12
2023 (2023-2025)0.61 vs 0.410.61 vs 0.5311/24 vs 9

Read: ours vs baseline on the same players. By position (our top 40 QB / 60 RB / 80 WR / 40 TE): 2022 QB 0.53 vs 0.48, RB 0.64 vs 0.36, WR 0.61 vs 0.60, TE 0.61 vs 0.53; 2023 QB 0.61 vs 0.49, RB 0.65 vs 0.25, WR 0.67 vs 0.47, TE 0.41 vs 0.50. Incoming rookies (valued from draft slot only): 2022 0.52 (n=79), 2023 0.69 (n=82). Summary: Overall better than the baseline (avg +0.08); clearly better at QB/RB/WR; about even at TE; top-24 hits about even (avg +0.0). 2 backtest seasons is a small sample — treat values as a well-reasoned starting point, not a guarantee.

How the values are built

Inputs. Our NFL game logs (nflverse weekly stats, regular season, 2015-2026 (through week 5)); birth dates and NFL draft slot from the nflverse player file. A “game” is a week with a stat line. QB/RB/WR/TE only.

1. Production rate. Points per game over his last three seasons weighted 1 / 0.5 / 0.25 (newest first), plus 8 pseudo-games at the average for his position and draft round in years 1–3 (so a 3-game sample can't look like a star). Blended 15% with an opportunity-implied rate — points per game predicted from target share (WR/TE), carry share + target share (RB) or pass attempts + carries (QB); R² QB 0.69, RB 0.86, WR 0.82, TE 0.75. The weights, prior size and blend were chosen to best predict next-season points per game on past seasons (error ±2.59 ppg).

2. Age curve. For every player with 6+ games in back-to-back seasons we measured the change in points per game by age, per position (2015–2025), and smoothed it with a Gaussian kernel. Examples (RB): 22: +0.48, 24: -0.01, 26: -0.38, 28: -0.69, 30: -0.92 ppg per year. Only survivors are in this curve, so it understates decline; retirement and lost jobs live in step 3.

3. Expected games. How many games players at his position, age band and quality level actually logged 1, 2 and 3 seasons later in our data — zero if they vanished. For 2026 we count only his team's remaining games (week 5 done).

4. Value. Expected points per season, weighted 1.0 / 0.8 / 0.6 across 2026, 2027, 2028, counted only above replacement (12-team 1QB: QB13, RB30, WR42, TE13 in that season), then scaled so #1 = 100. Tiers: Tier 1 ≥ 80 · 2 ≥ 60 · 3 ≥ 40 · 4 ≥ 25 · 5 ≥ 12 · 6 > 0. Superflex, TE premium and longer horizons aren't modelled yet.

Not in the number: injuries in progress, contracts, depth-chart changes, coaching. Rookies with no NFL games are valued from their draft slot only. Updated 2026-10-16.
