Decision rule

Start with Jaxon Smith-Njigba's edge.

Do not turn a one-week availability gap into a permanent dynasty discount; use the current market and reception rows to set the durable price.

Not at the baseline price. Jaxon Smith-Njigba holds the larger current value, so a straight swap gives up a 24.1% 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.
