THE DYNASTY DIGEST
THE DYNASTY DIGEST
Most calculators answer one question: who won. Dynasty trades have two answers, because a contender and a rebuilder are buying different things.

In order. The first line is the one that costs you the most.
Under your league’s slots. The grade is this season only — where he ranks at his position against how many start in your league
Value that never takes the field — this is what you trade with
Long-term value, slot by slot, against what an average team in your league starts there. A veteran can grade well above in your lineup and below here — that gap is the whole reason to trade him
What this roster is worth in three years if you stand pat
Worth more to somebody else than to you — move them while that is true
Cheap for a team on your timeline, expensive for the market
Put a roster in on the left — a Sleeper username brings the roster and your league’s format across in one click — and the model answers, in order:
Nothing is stored. The whole read happens in your browser.
Every roster, ranked by win-now strength. Click a team to make it yours — everything below re-reads from that team's side.
The selected team, lineup then bench, under this league's slots. A grade is this season against what actually starts at that position in this league — a B on the bench is a starter somebody else needs. Click a team above to switch.
Where your starters rank against the other eleven teams at that spot — a full bar is first in the league, an empty one is last
Read in order — the first line is the one that costs you games
Trades where both managers gain against their own window, inside 18% on market value so neither side is being fleeced
Deals that do not involve you — who else is about to get better, and which of your rivals is the one making the call

How it reads. The algorithm scores every player once: projected production above the replacement-level starter at his position in your league, blended with a position-specific aging and career-wear curve, real games missed, and how good his offense actually is. That score is format-neutral — scarcity comes from the roster slots you set above, which is why the same engine works in a 1QB league and a superflex one. The site then does exactly one thing to it: it walks the player forward along the same aging curve and discounts each future season. Contender versus rebuilder is that discount rate — a contender values year three at about a quarter of year one, a rebuilder at over four fifths. Each side of a trade is scored on its own rate, which is why both columns can read positive at once. Rookie picks are valued as the player their historical slot returns, hedged and discounted for the wait. Values are on a 0-100 scale anchored to a replacement-level starter, so a 60 is worth roughly twice a 30. Trade verdicts are the percentage each side gains against what it sends away, judged on its own timeline.
The engine owns the order. Drag a player, or set his override directly, when you know something the box score does not. Every change is logged and goes live for everyone the moment you save.
Drag a player by the handle to move him up or down.
Engine points, added on top. This survives every weekly recompute and every slider — it is the one place a human overrules the algorithm, so it goes in the log.
Bruiser, balanced or receiving. Feeds the career-wear curve only.
