Immediate starter trade
Trading into a stronger weekly scorer
A contending team wants to know whether the incoming player's weekly production really moves the starting lineup enough to justify the deal.
Result: The incoming player creates a meaningful weekly lift, not just a cosmetic swap.
Waiver upside swing
Bench stash with more volatility
Helpful when a manager wants to know if a high-variance waiver claim is worth the roster spot in a league that rewards patience.
Result: The incoming option gains extra value because upside and longer-run format both matter more.
Hold the safer player
Small edge that does not justify the move
A marginal trade where the raw points gap is too small to outweigh lineup certainty and transaction friction.
Result: The move stays near-even, so holding can be the cleaner roster choice.
