Decision rule
Start with Kenneth Walker's edge.
Contenders should inspect redraft value; rebuilders should anchor to dynasty value and price any horizon mismatch separately.
Not at the baseline price. Kenneth Walker holds the larger current value, so a straight swap gives up a 15.9% 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.
