Every offseason, I scour the web to find projected dollar values. It's nearly impossible to find a website that offers the information I'm looking for. Most sites want $30 for their draft package or simply don't offer the information I want.
When the season starts, finding current dollar values is even more difficult. But RotoTimes has the best one I've found, by a landslide. Not only do they update the player values every day but they're also customizable. So instead of finding 5x5 values for an NL-only league of 10 teams, I can customize the parameters for a 4x4 league with 18 teams. It's great.
Here are the top Player Rater values for the 23-player positions on a Gabe Paul starting lineup. Listed are the top values for each position along with their Gabe Paul auction-contract price.
