Positional grades
League rank · of 12QBQuarterback · 3rd of 123rd of 12 in quarterback trade value — what the room is worth to move, weighted toward the men who start. It is not a count of points. The lineup backs it up: 2 clear 12 PPG for 1 starting spot, so there is a startable body behind the starters.The fuller the gem, the higher it ranks — a full gem is 1st in the league.
RBRunning Back · 4th of 124th of 12 in running back trade value — what the room is worth to move, weighted toward the men who start. It is not a count of points. That is value, not depth: 2 clear 8.2 PPG for 2 starting spots, so the rank is the men who start rather than anything behind them. De'Von Achane is part of that value and out for the season — tradeable, but not scoring for you this year.The fuller the gem, the higher it ranks — a full gem is 1st in the league.
WRWide Receiver · 10th of 1210th of 12 in receiver trade value — what the room is worth to move, weighted toward the men who start. It is not a count of points. The lineup backs it up: 4 clear 7.4 PPG for 3 starting spots, so there is a startable body behind the starters.The fuller the gem, the higher it ranks — a full gem is 1st in the league.
TETight End · 3rd of 123rd of 12 in tight end trade value — what the room is worth to move, weighted toward the men who start. It is not a count of points. The lineup backs it up: 4 clear 6 PPG for 3 starting spots, so there is a startable body behind the starters.The fuller the gem, the higher it ranks — a full gem is 1st in the league.
FLEXFlex · 3rd of 123rd of 12 in the trade value left over once your dedicated slots are filled — the pool your 2 flex spots draw from. That is value, not points: neither of your 2 bench flex bodies clears the bar, so a rank this high means expensive players sitting behind your lineup rather than a strong flex week to week.The fuller the gem, the higher it ranks — a full gem is 1st in the league.
DEPTHDepth · 4th of 124th of 12 in the trade value of everyone past your starters and flex — the bench you would trade from, not the bench you would start. Your lineup itself ranks 9th of 12 in weekly points.The fuller the gem, the higher it ranks — a full gem is 1st in the league.

The written take is on its way — the Roadmap below is the full read on this roster in the meantime.
The Roadmap
Your plan
RELOADWhy reloadStarting lineup produces 9th of 12 — not enough to win now.Only 1% playoff odds despite this lineup. Some of the record is luck, but those games are already lost.Roster value ranks 4th of 12, and holds roughly steady two seasons out.This reads your playoff odds — your record, your lineup and the schedule left — as well as your roster, and leans on them more as the season goes on. Four things decide this split: how many points your starting lineup scores today, how much trade value you hold, what that value looks like once every player is two years older, and how your core's age compares to the rest of the league. Producing now pushes you toward CONTEND, holding value that hasn't reached your lineup yet pushes you toward RELOAD, and being young without the production pushes you toward REBUILD. A close split means the roster genuinely hasn't picked a side.

Value × productionLeft to right is how much dynasty value you hold against an average team; bottom to top is how many points your best starting lineup scores. Every logo is a team in your league. Top right means both are working; bottom right means the assets are there but not in your lineup yet; top left means you are winning above your talent; bottom left means neither is working. The shaded band through the middle is within 8% of average either way — a team inside it reads as average on that axis.

Top move
Trade down at QB to fix WRYour quarterback room is 56% above league average, 3rd of 12, while WR is 35% below league average, 10th of 12. But you start 1 quarterback a week and only 2 of yours clear 12 PPG, so you cannot simply send one out. Move your most expensive quarterback and insist on a startable quarterback coming back alongside the receiver — the value gap between the two is what pays for the upgrade. bennyu is the roster shaped to take it.
Get a startable quarterback back in the same deal — this room has no spare body.
Season odds
We rebuild your league's real schedule, project each team's weekly score from its best legal starting lineup, then play the rest of the season out a few thousand times with realistic week-to-week swing. These are the share of those seasons where you make the bracket and where you win it. Games already played are kept as results, so the numbers sharpen as the season goes.12-team league1%PlayoffsYou make the bracket in 1% of the simulated seasons.

10thProj. seedRanked by average finish across every simulated season, you come out 10th — that, not the win total, sets the seed. You average 3.8 wins over 14 games; the league average is exactly 7.0.
Positional balance
Your roster value vs. league averageEverything you own in each group, added up and set against what an average team in this 12-team league carries there. Right of the line means you hold more than you can start, so that is where a trade should come from. Left of the line is where incoming value should land. FLEX is the best of what is left after your starters; DEPTH is everything behind that.Biggest need
WR−35%
Add up everything you own at WR and it is worth +35% less than an average team here carries — 10th of 12. You start 3 receivers a week, and you are filling those spots below league standard. This is where incoming value should land.Best strength
FLEX+71%
3rd of 12 in the trade value left over once your dedicated slots are filled — the pool your 2 flex spots draw from. That is value, not points: neither of your 2 bench flex bodies clears the bar, so a rank this high means expensive players sitting behind your lineup rather than a strong flex week to week.← Deficit · buy hereLeague averageSurplus · trade from here →

Holding you back
3 problems
- 1TFR is selling 10 of your playersWoody Marks, Oronde Gadsden, Colston Loveland sit on the Buy/Hold/Sell board as sells. You are holding assets our own board says the market is overpaying for.
- 2DEPTHYour bench is short in 2 spotsNo back behind your starters clears 8.2 PPG. One injury and you are starting a handcuff. Nothing on your bench clears 8.2 PPG. Bye weeks will cost you.
- 3WRWR is a hole, not a position group−35%Your receiver room holds −35% of the trade value the average team carries there and ranks 10th of 12. There is no week where this group wins you the matchup.

The move here is trading quality down at QB and taking a startable body back, not shipping a QB out for nothing.
- 2TETE is loaded, but none of it is spare+47%Your tight end room holds +47% of what the average team carries there and ranks 3rd of 12 — but you start 3 tight ends a week once flex slots are filled and only 4 of them clear 6 PPG, so none of it is spare.

Trading difficultyHow easily this roster can make a deal. All your value in three studs scores low, because any trade opens a hole in your lineup. Value spread across seven or eight useful players — and picks in the first two rounds — scores high: you can make a real offer without gutting yourself.

Trade Ideas
These are alternative deals, not a sequence — you would do one of them, which is why the same piece can appear on more than one card. They come in four kinds. FILLS A NEED moves value from a room you're long in to the one you're short in. TIER UP sends one of your starters plus a piece for a better player at the same position — for the rooms that are already fine but could be better. YOUR BOARD comes from the Buy/Hold/Sell board: a player you're selling moved while someone will still pay, or a player you're buying asked for by name. SELL THE VET and WIN-NOW BUY are the trades where the two plans meet — a rebuild selling a veteran to a contender for youth or picks, or a contender paying a rebuild in futures for a producer. Every offer is checked for whether a person would accept it, not just whether the values add up: the side getting the best player pays a premium for consolidating, you can't buy someone far above the best chip you own, and every player you send has to be someone who'd actually crack their lineup. A rebuild is never handed back an older player than it sends, and a contender is never handed a player who is out for the season. The percentage on each card is whether that manager would actually want it — their window, whether it lands in a room they are thin at, what it costs them, and how often they trade at all.alternatives — you'd do one of them1.1Trade market: Quiet4 completed trades since March — about 0.7 per team. You will need to start the conversation, and expect to overpay slightly to finish one.
BetaTrade ideas are in beta and can be wrong — use them as a starting point, not as advice to follow blindly. Found a bad one? Screenshot it and send it to matthewbarghout on Discord — every real example is how we fix the logic.
No complementary roster in this league right now — nobody is long where you are short.
What Changes Your Window?
The gap between where you are and the next window, sized in the thing that actually moves it — points of starting-lineup production, or the value you'd need to add.You are 19.7 PPG of starting-lineup production away from a top-third lineup. One more starting-calibre receiver — bought with the bench value you already hold — flips you to CONTEND without touching your core.
Draft capitalEvery future pick you hold. A pick is priced as the player it is expected to become, so where it lands in the round is most of what it is worth — and where it lands is set by how the roster that owes it is projected to finish, not by how good they look on paper. You project to finish 9th of 12, so your own picks land early in each round.
