MookBall League Lore

Drafts & Trades

How picks are judged: Value = how much more a player gave you than what that pick usually returns, after adjusting for position. Each player's full regular-season fantasy points (weeks 1–14, league scoring, no matter who rostered him) are compared with a starter-level replacement at his position: the last player a league this size would start there (the QB10 in a 10-team league; RB and WR also count their usual share of FLEX starts). That gap is compared with what players taken around the same pick usually gave over replacement, across every season. Kickers and defenses are left out. "Worst picks" only look at rounds 1–5. A pick with no stat line all season isn't graded; one who missed a third or more of his team's games is tagged "missed X of Y games" (games = weeks with a stat line in Sleeper's weekly stats).

How trades are judged: each side gets the points its new players scored in its starting lineup after the trade (bench weeks don't count), from the trade's week until the player left that roster, through the regular season plus any playoff games that team played (quarterfinals, semifinals, final). A trade reversed the same week is shown once as undone. In a season still being played, the verdict is only who leads so far.
