“Most Valuable Assets” mock rankings

What makes an asset in the MFFL more “valuable” than another? It isn’t just pure talent and production, after all.

Is the highest scorer always the most valuable? Is a long-term contract worth more than a shorter one, regardless of production? Is a proven veteran more valuable than a promising prospect? Is the unknown of a draft pick more enticing than a veteran who appears to have hit his ceiling?

Ranking assets is an exercise in futility, given that each owner values assets differently than others. But it’s good barstool fodder nevertheless.

The following are 50 of the top assets in the MFFL, somewhat haphazardly ranked according to a combination of the aforementioned characteristics.
