Decision rule

Contenders should inspect redraft value; rebuilders should anchor to dynasty value and price any horizon mismatch separately.
Not at the baseline price. James Cook holds the larger current value, so a straight swap gives up a 12.2% market edge before roster fit is considered. Injury status, starting-lineup need, and manager-specific preference are outside this model.
