Price fell, outlook didn't: Market Index rank down at least four spots in seven days while the experts still have him in the starter range.

Sell high
The market moved faster than the panel: Market Index rank up at least four spots to at least eight spots better than the rest-of-season consensus.
Nobody qualifies right now — the rule is strict on purpose.
The experts can't agree
The widest expert splits among rest-of-season starters. An owner who reads the pessimists will sell cheap; one who reads the optimists will overpay — the negotiation targets.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes a player a buy-low candidate?
- His price fell but his outlook didn't. Here that means the LeagueLogs Market Index rank dropped at least four spots in the last seven days while the FantasyPros rest-of-season consensus still has him inside the starter range at his position, and he is not ruled out. The drop is usually a bad week, a scare that cleared, or a role question the experts have already answered.
- What makes a player a sell-high candidate?
- The market moved faster than the experts. A sell-high player's Market Index rank rose at least four spots in seven days to a point at least eight spots better than the rest-of-season consensus — someone in your league will pay a price the expert panel would not.
- Why does 'the experts can't agree' make someone a trade target?
- Because the price is not settled. When one FantasyPros expert has a player 20 spots higher than another, his owner's asking price depends on which take they read — and the same spread means a buyer can find a seller who is quietly worried. The list shows the consensus rank next to the full expert range so you can see which side of the argument you would be betting on.
