Decision rule
Start with Oronde Gadsden's edge.
Treat the snap increase as evidence of a larger route to opportunity, then use the dynasty and TEP rows to avoid paying ahead of actual target growth.
Not at the baseline price. Oronde Gadsden holds the larger current value, so a straight swap gives up a 8.1% market edge before roster fit is considered. Recent usage and listed availability provide context, but starting-lineup need and manager-specific preference remain outside the model.
