If your league buys bench players at the draft, I recommend excluding the money you expect to be spent on bench players from what you enter in the Price Guide (e.g. $245 per team instead of $260).

I have been looking over the customized spreadsheet that I derived from the Price Guide. Does the program conclude that all bench players are worth $0? Is there any way to tell the Price Guide how many bench spots my league uses? I think that this would impact the price it spits out. For my league, there will be 252 players drafted, but the Price Guide gives me only 187 players with positive value. Is this because it does not recognize the bench players, or is there another explanation? Hmmm. I have been looking over the customized spreadsheet that I derived from the Price Guide.

Quite frankly, your values come in astonishingly close to my spreadsheet values, which I find a little scary, but it also makes me more interested in your thoughts and analysis. Concerning a post you made earlier, you can get a reasonable base for average market values in an auction draft by laking the lists published by cbs, etc, and averaging them. Most drafters are going to get their lists from somewhere, and these are what they will probably be based upon. Anyway, great site, and thanks for the spreadsheet download capability.

I always knew their positional adjustments were terrible just by looking at how low catchers are valued. The good news for us? Many fantasy owners who don't know better will use their values, giving us the leg up! Yup, glad to see someone else share their disappointment with the Player Rater.
