Jameson Williams climbs 7 places among receivers when catches don't count, one of 10 players who cross the illustrative 12-team starter line depending on scoring. The head-to-head that flips: Ashton Jeanty or Derrick Henry.

Real trades back this value
In 6 Redraft PPR trades since September where he went alone, what changed hands came to about 0.94× his value here (the middle half of them 0.3× to 1.12×).
What managers actually gave for James in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like Redraft PPR first. Each shows the date and the league's settings; the price is what was agreed then, and the line under it is today's value, a different thing. Two-team trades of up to four pieces a side; none is left out for disagreeing with Swindlr. No league or manager names. 2 of them look lopsided at today's values (values move after a trade, with injuries and role changes, so a fair price then can look lopsided now); none is left out.
