J.J. McCarthy in dynasty: value, format and fit

In a 1QB league he is worth 1,102, 1,346 less than in superflex — the second-quarterback slot is what makes QBs expensive. These are the numbers the dynasty trade calculator starts from; league size, scoring and consolidation logic adjust them for the trade in front of you.

The players closest to him in value are Braelon Allen (RB, 2,450), Kayshon Boutte (WR, 2,455) and Malachi Fields (WR, 2,430). Inside that band, position and age decide the trade, not the raw number. A straight swap for Braelon Allen (RB) is +0.1% for the side receiving Braelon Allen (RB). A 2-for-1 that returns Cole Kmet (TE) and 2026 5.12 is dead even on value before the consolidation bonus the calculator applies to the side getting J.J. McCarthy.
