Overview

This FAQ answers the most common questions about Dynasty Market and how to interpret the information throughout the workspace.

FantasyCalc provides the underlying dynasty market values, while Fantasy Mate adds historical context, research reports and market intelligence.

Why doesn't Dynasty Market tell me to buy or sell players?

Dynasty Market is designed to describe the market rather than make decisions for you.

Its information should be combined with football analysis, league settings, roster construction and your own judgement.

What is the difference between Undervalued Assets and Market Ahead?

Undervalued Assets identifies relevant players trading at meaningful discounts compared with their own recent market history.

Market Ahead identifies players whose current dynasty valuation appears more optimistic than their underlying football profile.

A player may occasionally appear in both reports, but they answer fundamentally different questions.

Why are there only 28-day and 90-day Market Movers?

These two horizons provide a balanced view of short-term reactions and more established market trends without adding unnecessary complexity.

Why doesn't every player appear in Market Movers?

Market Movers intentionally focuses on meaningful dynasty assets.

Fantasy Mate first establishes a relevant player pool before ranking proportional movement, preventing insignificant low-value assets from dominating the reports.

Does a high market value mean a player will score more fantasy points?

Not necessarily.

Market value reflects community perception and long-term dynasty value, which may differ from expected production during a single season.

Why is Redraft Value included?

Redraft Value provides additional context by showing how a player is valued in a one-season format.

It is a reference only and does not influence Dynasty Market calculations.

Does Historical Value predict future prices?

No.

Historical Value explains where today's market sits within a player's recorded market journey. It is descriptive rather than predictive.

Can Dynasty Market replace my own player evaluations?

No.

Dynasty Market is one part of the Fantasy Mate ecosystem. It works best when combined with football analysis, projections and your own understanding of players and league dynamics.

Can a player appear in more than one research report?

Yes.

Each report answers a different market question. A player's appearance in multiple reports can therefore describe several distinct aspects of the same market situation.

Does appearing in a report mean Fantasy Mate recommends a transaction?

No.

Research reports identify situations worthy of attention. They do not issue buy, sell or hold recommendations.

Why aren't the formulas and thresholds published?

Fantasy Mate explains what each report measures, why it exists and how it should be interpreted.

The exact filtering rules, thresholds, calculations, weighting methods and implementation remain proprietary.

Final Thought

Dynasty Market is designed to help users understand the dynasty marketplace with greater confidence.

The better you understand how values are created, how they change over time and how they compare with history, the better equipped you are to make informed dynasty decisions.
