Analysis ·

Week 8 start/sit: when PPR changes the answer

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.

What he's worth in a trade

Best ball

Real trades · 232 in the last year · 11 in redraft one-QB leagues

The last 90 days of the sample, redraft leagues: 16 trades, 5 Superflex or 2QB and 11 one-QB, 2 with a TE premium. Every trade with him, by format →

Real trades back this value

In 5 Best ball trades since September where he went alone, what changed hands came to about 1.07× his value here (the middle half of them 0.82× to 1.85×).

What managers actually gave for Jaylen in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like Best ball 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. 5 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.
