Rico Dowdle in dynasty: value, format and fit

In a 1QB league he is worth 3,550, the same as superflex, because the format adjustment only moves quarterbacks. 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 Michael Pittman (WR, 3,544), Jayden Reed (WR, 3,561) and Jordan Mason (RB, 3,537). Inside that band, position and age decide the trade, not the raw number. A straight swap for Michael Pittman (WR) is -0.2% for the side receiving Michael Pittman (WR). A 2-for-1 that returns J.J. McCarthy (QB) and 2026 5.08 is dead even on value before the consolidation bonus the calculator applies to the side getting Rico Dowdle.
