Fantasy football Week 2: Trade value chart and rest of season rankings

elisha twerski, usa today
·6-min read

Once you've wrapped up your fantasy drafts, there are only two ways to improve your rosters — waivers and trades.

Evaluating a fantasy trade can be a daunting task. Most people value their players more than their actual worth, especially early in the season. That's where the fantasy football trade value charts come in.

These charts can be used as your very own fantasy football trade analyzer in standard, half-PPR (point per reception), and full PPR leagues. Someone sends you an offer? Simply pull out a calculator (on your phone, you don't need an actual calculator) and plug in the values for each player. Don't worry, superflex leagues are covered as well.

These value charts are based on my fantasy football rest of season rankings and projections and can also be used as a guide for FAAB (free agent acquisition budget) waivers. Multiply the values by two to get the FAAB number. (I.e., Isaiah Likely's FAAB recommendation this week in half-PPR leagues would be $22).

Important note: If you're offered an uneven trade (I.e., a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1), include the values for the players you'd be moving to the bench or dropping within your calculation. For example: If someone offers you J.K. Dobbins, Chris Olave, and Michael Pittman Jr. (combined value of 62) for Saquon Barkley (53), it might look like you're getting the better end of it. However, if you're bumping down, say, Ezekiel Elliott and Rashid Shaheed (combined value of 24) in the process, it's a net negative deal for you.

These rankings are based on how players should be valued in a 12-team league.

(NOTE: App users might need to switch to a browser if the charts aren't showing up.)
