How value is measured. Raw points do not compare across positions or eras, so each pick is graded against players drafted at the same position in the same year, then against what its round normally returns. Value is in standard deviations (σ): +2σ is a steal, −2σ a disaster.

Two quirks worth knowing. From 2014–2018 this league scored defensive tackles, so a D/ST put up roughly 1,000 points a season instead of 120 — real history, and the reason raw totals from those years look wild. And ESPN only serves weekly lineup data from 2018 on, so games started and best week are blank before that; season totals are complete for all 18 years.
