Russell Copeland is a career quality starter — a receiver whose body of work places Copeland in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Copeland's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A wide receiver with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (exceptional availability — almost never missed time) added to their value.
Worth 21 points of value above a freely-available replacement receiver — top 67% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 3 of 4 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +7 on average.See board →
