What happened: Jaxon Smith-Njigba ranks third and Amon-Ra St. Brown fourth in the 100-player chart. Boone assigns separate half-PPR and PPR values for rest-of-season fantasy trades.

Why it matters: The largest gap between adjacent receivers in the top five comes after St. Brown, who sits seven valuation points above CeeDee Lamb in both formats. That separation marks Boone's clearest valuation break among the leading receivers.

By the numbers: Half-PPR/PPR values: Chase 75/78; Nacua 74/77; Smith-Njigba 71/74; St. Brown 70/73; Lamb 63/66. The top four span five points in each format.

What to watch: Watch whether Week 1 target volume and playing time support the separation between the top four and the rest of the field.
