Decision rule
Start with AJ Barner's edge.
Use TEP only when your league awards it, and keep the complete offer inside the same value tier unless the measured gap clearly widens.
Not at the baseline price. AJ Barner holds the larger current value, so a straight swap gives up a 14.9% market edge before roster fit is considered. Injury status, starting-lineup need, and manager-specific preference are outside this model.
