Looking forward to using your site. Really liking the dynasty trade calculator. I see Trey Lipscomb and Yariel Rodriguez are missing when I search for them. Maybe that means I shouldn't be worrying about them ha
Hi Chris - can I get your thinking on Jack Perkins if he's available in a FYPD? Saw you mentioned that he is a "helium" guy who has been getting a fair bit of attention lately. But he's not listed in your most recent Top 600 prospects. Where would he slot in your FYPD ranks?
Yeah he was an accidental omission in rankings. I have him in the 250-300 overall range. Honestly don’t know where that would fit FYPD wise. I’m not at home at my computer to look
Can you give me a little more context of league type, size, scoring, etc. I have a ton of stuff on the site, so I get it can be a bit overwhelming. Rankings obviously are a good guide. If you are on Fantrax, you can upload my rankings to the draft room which helps. But if you have questions on a player, my written reports are probably helpful to get a feel for a player.
Go to the rankings sheet, go to the Dynasty Upload tab, download as CSV, go to Fantrax, Rank Players, Click the first check box, and then upload the CSV.
Quick question- on your dynasty ranks you have Bryce Miller at 55 which I agree with but on the calculator for values on trades his value just seems so low? Also Strider- given the injury I understand but is it hurting him that much when considering degrom/Mclanahan values are higher but I would argue same concerns? I do love all the content though man!
Ranks are personal evaluations, while the calculator is a computerized model. I don't put any bias into it, as I want to offer another tool that is different than my ranks. Ill check into the 3-year projections for Miller and the other arms you mentioned. Often times, its just IP/PA totals being too low, which leads to a significant drop in $ value.
That is fair! I like the calculator as a starting point then work in personal thoughts and also team needs for both my team and the teams I would be looking to trade with because that also is some big factors
Not right now because of how CBS exports. However, we are making an app to do it much more efficiently and hope to be able to log into your CBS account within our app to show you. Hoping to have that done soon.
Im still working with an app developer plus CBS to try and get API access. We’re trying to make something really good and not rush it. I don’t have an eta, sorry.
@chris every time time I click on the 5x5 Dynasty Rankings it makes me login again, however it never actually logs me in. The other links all work fine, is this intentional? How do I get access?
@Clegg. Thank you for putting this all together. Can you tell me what data set is being used for the Trade Calculator, and what day it was captured? I own Jackson Merrill and considering moving him as part of a deal. He is flying up dynasty boards and really producing on the field. The dynasty trade calculator populates him as: 2024:
11.3
2025:
5.7
2026:
7.1
Overall: 39.1
This is REALLY light, comparatively to other less-productive OF's.
Follow-up, if the data set was frozen in March (as Zips projections pre-season), for example, is there a plan to update that data set once or multiple times in-season? Or, should this just be considered an off-season/early-season tool at this point?
It is updated monthly. The full process is outlined in the article as far as what I do with the data. In a general sense I think projections are a little slower to update on rookies, but I will look into Merrill. Theres always things I miss considering its 2500 players and 18 different projection sets which is a little overkill lol.
I last updated during the All Star break so I will be working on another update this week.

Ill look into that and get them in and projections run

Thanks. I took him late in a recent FYPD as a flier and have a few more coming up.
I am starting a first year dynasty draft tomorrow morning and trying to do some research. Where should I start?

I am in fantrax 14 team league. And I have the 8th pick. How would I upload your rankings to the draft room?

is it possible to do best available in your league on cbs website?
Not right now because of how CBS exports. However, we are making an app to do it much more efficiently and hope to be able to log into your CBS account within our app to show you. Hoping to have that done soon.
Just checking to see how it is going with the CBS work

Love all the daily content Chris! Any update on the CBS?
Nope. I have someone building it for me in their free time, so Its in their hands. Ill reach out and see.
In the new July dynasty 500 rankings it lists Nate Lowe's age as 24.5. He is 28, just an fyi

Thats really strange. Let me look into this. It should be working for everyone.

Forgot to highlight the article

That's great context. Thank you for your work.
Thanks! I know there are a ton of players out there, some are bound to be missed.
Any idea where I can review DRC+ on current MLB players.
Do you guys do individual team depth charts where you can see what the projected up-to-date lineup and what not will be?
Thats the plan after I update my prospect rankings.
