Season-Long vs. DFS Value Calculator

Compare a player's season-long fantasy value against their DFS value using projected points, salary, and ownership to determine optimal deployment.

Projected Fantasy Points

Season Average Fantasy Points Per Game

DFS Salary ($)

DFS Total Salary Cap ($)

Projected DFS Ownership (%)

Season-Long Roster Percentage (%)

League Average PPG at Position

#### Formulas

DFS Points Per $1,000: (Projected Points ÷ DFS Salary) × 1,000

DFS Leverage Score: Projected Points ÷ (Ownership % + 1)

DFS Value Score (0–100):

Points Above Replacement (PAR): Season Avg PPG − League Avg PPG at Position

Season-Long Value Score (0–100):

Recommendation: If |DFS Score − Season-Long Score| < 5 → Neutral; DFS Score higher → DFS Lean; Season-Long Score higher → Season-Long Lean.
