About Fantasy Draft Value Calculator

Value over replacement is projected points minus what a freely available player would score; auction value distributes the whole league budget in proportion to that surplus. Raw projections mislead because a 250 point quarterback may be worth less than a 200 point running back if replacements at his position score nearly as much.

Formulas

Value over replacement

VORP = projected points - replacement level points

Auction value

price = VORP / total league VORP x total budget

Worked example

With the default values below, Fantasy Draft Value Calculator returns Fair auction price of $116.67. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
