Dynasty Tools/Age Category (free article)

We are working to have some dynasty tools on the site this year and more dynasty content, but for the time being, we have introduced something that can help with dynasty evaluations. In your league settings, you will notice that 'AGE' is now a trackable fantasy category. Now, obviously, this isn't a stat that is used in fantasy leagues, but if you turn that on as a stat in your league, it weights more value in projections to younger players. I have been playing around with it, and I gave the Age category a weighting of 2.0 and the projections for dynasty value make quite a bit of sense. It's far from perfect and there and a number of other factors to be looked at, but I think it s a solid way, f you have a dynasty startup draft or are considering dynasty trades, to evaluate the players and the impact age can have on their value. If you are in a win-now build, you can turn the weighting down to 1.0 or even 0.75 to reduce the impact of age of the players' value.
