Yes, injury time, or any time not played, does count
against a player's "fair" value.
I couldn't find any explanation of how the FV numbers
were generated, so Ikrushlots' complaint that they are
not really useful is valid.
Although the numbers are supposed to take into account
"one-on-one defense", if Roland uses the numbers from
the "opponent" production, he admits freely that guys
like Trenton Hassell suffer because he does not have a
way to track "cross guarding". This means that Trenton
often gets charged for the production of Wally or Ricky's
defensive assignment in the "Opponent's PER", because
he gets all the tough covers at the 2 or 3.
