Common questions

Which 2006 fantasy trades worked out best?

In 2006, teams that traded for LaDainian Tomlinson won the most: +11.9 useful points a week on average.

How are these trades graded?

Each trade is graded from what both teams received: the useful points a week those players scored for their new team over the rest of the season, above a typical starter at their position that week. A trade is even when the two sides finished close, and a clear edge when one side came out well ahead. Draft picks count at the usual value of a pick at that spot. Redraft leagues only.

Where do these trades come from?

From real redraft leagues connected to Fantasy Hall of Fame from Yahoo, Sleeper, ESPN, CBS, MFL, Fleaflicker and Fantrax. A player, trade partner or trade shows only when it covers at least 10 leagues, and no league or manager is identified.
