Digging into the numbers behind the season.

Draft value

What each player cost in the 2026 auction against what they have actually scored, through week 4.

Did paying more get you more?

Average points scored by the players bought in each price band. Bars that step down from top to bottom mean the market priced that position correctly.

Covers 293 drafted players who have played at least one game. 55 more were drafted but have not taken the field, and are left out — a player who has not played says nothing about whether his price was right.

Rankings are within position, among drafted players. QB2 → QB19 means a player was the second most expensive quarterback bought and is currently the nineteenth highest scoring.

It is early — only a few games have been played, so a slow start or an injury can look like a misjudgement. Check the games column before blaming anyone.
