Verdicts

Add a keeper and set the round he costs; the comparison appears here.

Projected value is MustDraft points above replacement for your league; cost of pick comes from a monotonic curve over players carrying both current draft ADP and a MustDraft value — see methodology. ADP data: Fantasy Football Calculator.

How the keeper math works

Keeping a player in round N forfeits your actual pick in that round — which depends on your draft slot and the snake order. In a 12-team league, slot 1 keeping a round-2 player gives up overall pick 24; slot 12 gives up pick 13. We price that pick from the players actually being drafted around it in current drafts, in your scoring format, smoothed so one oddly-priced player never sets a whole round's cost, and constrained so a later pick never costs more than an earlier one.

The verdict compares ranges, not single numbers: the spread in the projection sources on your player against the spread of draft position around your pick. A strong “keep” or “pass” appears only when those ranges clearly separate; anything overlapping is called a close call, and a player covered by fewer than two independent projection sources is labelled limited and never gets a strong verdict.

Current draft ADP comes from Fantasy Football Calculator, one scoring cohort at a time. It is one market's current draft behaviour, not a multi-source consensus. Dynasty, rookie-only, auction and superflex keeper formats are not supported in this version.
