How value is calculated
Value is projected fantasy points divided by salary in thousands. A FanDuel hitter projected for 12 points at a $4,000 salary scores a 3.0 value — three points per $1,000 spent. Higher value frees up salary for stars elsewhere in the lineup.
The L5 column shows realized value over each player's last five games, a check on whether the projection matches recent production. Plays refresh every deploy from the current main-slate projections.
