CounterShift Value Index

One score, with the context behind it.

Value Index gives you a consistent way to compare players using projections, role, scarcity, market evidence, and league context. It is a decision aid—not a prediction or a guarantee.

How it works

What the score measures

CounterShift weighs projected production, expected role, positional scarcity, market cost, and the strength of the available evidence. Those signals become a 0–100 comparison for the league and decision you selected.

The score can change with scoring settings, lineup requirements, available replacements, and roster needs because those factors change what a player can contribute to your team.

Value drivers

What supports the score

Each signal explains a different part of the player's current value.

Example Value Index86Strong value
Projected productionStrong88
Role and opportunityElite92
Position scarcityAbove average76
Market valueStrong83
Evidence confidenceHigh86

What lifts it: secure opportunity, a strong projection, and limited comparable alternatives.

What tempers it: market cost and the quality of the currently available evidence.

Why league settings can change value

12-team PPR86

Reception volume and positional depth support the player's value.

10-team non-PPR78

Replacement options are easier to find and receptions matter less.

WR-needy roster90

Lineup need and a scarcity gap make the same player more useful.

Responsible use

What Value Index does not claim

It does not guarantee performance, predict injuries, decide whether another manager will accept a trade, or replace your judgment. If CounterShift does not have enough reliable evidence, the score is shown as unavailable instead of being filled with invented data.
