Chris Penn is a career quality starter — a receiver whose body of work places Penn in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Penn's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A wide receiver with a top 30% among starters — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 35 points of value above a freely-available replacement receiver — top 54% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 4 of 5 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +8.8 on average.See board →
