Sovic Post: Most Valuable Players

So as a follow-up to yesterday's Projected Points rankings, I realized it'd be relatively easy to input the amounts we paid for each player and take a look at who got the most bang for their bucks during the draft. With that in mind, I divided each of our starting players' projections by their cost to find out who were the most valuable draftees, i.e. who was projected to score the most points per dollar. Of course at the top of the rankings were a bunch of quarterbacks and defenses who went for $1 each, so to avoid just publishing a list of those people I set a minimum cost of $5. Here were the top most valuable draftees at each position, along with their projected points per dollar (pppd) and owner.
