Startup rankings
Every player ordered by what he is worth over the next six seasons, not just this one.
Dynasty value ages this season’s projection over six seasons on a measuredage curve, regresses his rate and availability toward the mean as the horizon lengthens, and discounts each year by the measured chance the player is still fantasy-relevant. All come from nflverse 2012–2025: production is estimated with player fixed effects, so each man is compared against his own career rather than against whoever else happens to be that age. Ages marked * are assumed.
