The Relative Value Score (RVS score (the S stands
for score, but is doesn't sound good unless you add
the "score" at the end)) is a score that
compares players to the projected worst starting player
at their respective postion. This score is an attempt
to give relative values to different players at different
positions.
The RVS score depends on how many players a fantasy
league has and what lineup you have to field. Using
a standard 10 team league with 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE,
1K and 1D, the baseline fantasy points would be based
on the 10th rated QB, 20th RB, 20th WR, 10th TE, 10th
K and 10th D.
For example in our projections we have Peyton Manning
as the top rated QB with 312 FFpts. and the 10th ranked
QB (the projected worst starting QB in this fantasy
league) is D. Brees with 232 FFPts. Mannings RVS score
is then 312 - 232 = 80. Likewise L. Tomlinson is projected
to have 309 FFPts., while Warrick Dunn is ranked 20th
with 195 FFPts so L. Tomlinson's RVS score is 312
- 195 = 117. This shows how much more important a
top ranked RB is than a top ranked QB.
Should you pick a second tier RB
or should you pick a top QB or WR?
Should you pick the top TE over a
second tier WR?
When is it appropriate to pick your
Defense?
A players RVS score helps you make these decisions.
Of course there are other factors that go into your
selections come draft day, but using a players RVS
score in combination with injury risks, reliability,
consistency and opportunity will make for a dominating
draft day.

Projections Pro System to see RVS scores for all
the players using your scoring system and a standard
lineup of 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K and 1D. You can print
