Michael Mayer in dynasty: value, format and fit
In a 1QB league he is worth 2,026, the same as superflex, because the format adjustment only moves quarterbacks. With TE premium (+0.5 per reception) he rises to 2,229. 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 Kirk Cousins (QB, 2,028), Terrance Ferguson (TE, 2,017) and Xavier Legette (WR, 2,043). Inside that band, position and age decide the trade, not the raw number. A straight swap for Kirk Cousins (QB) is +0.1% for the side receiving Kirk Cousins (QB). A 2-for-1 that returns Tyler Lockett (WR) and 2026 6.01 is dead even on value before the consolidation bonus the calculator applies to the side getting Michael Mayer.
