About Dawg Detector

How it decides

Every player is valued by how much he improves your roster over the season (70%) and the next four weeks (30%), in your league's scoring and lineup slots. On top of that it weighs expert consensus, depth-chart role, team investment (draft capital and contracts, graded on whether the player is living up to them), handcuff value, this season's form and last season's production, discounted when the context has changed.
