How the lists are made
Every quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end gets two numbers. Market value is what managers pay for him in real trades (FantasyCalc). Points value is what his scoring this season is worth: his PPR points per game, pulled toward what the market expects when he has few games and discounted for games he missed, priced at what the market pays for players at his position who score about the same.
A player is on a list when the two are more than 15% apart. Only healthy players with at least four games and a value that matters in a 12-team league are listed. A buy-low or sell-high call is about price, not talent: the market may know something the box score does not, such as a role change or a coming return from injury. Check any trade against both rosters in the trade analyzer.
