Dynasty Trade Value Chart

How to use a dynasty trade value chart

Start by finding each asset on the chart: players by name, draft picks by year and slot. Add up the values on each side of a proposed trade. A trade is closer to even when the two totals are close, and the gap between them is the number to look at.

Read the tier column before the raw number. Assets in the same tier are usually treated as interchangeable, so one player in a tier can often be swapped for another in that tier with little change in total value. A single player from a higher tier is often worth several lower-tier pieces, but the exact count varies by league.

Check the 30-day trend and the position rank before you act. A value that is rising means the market is paying more for that asset this month. A falling value is a signal to be careful about buying, not a reason to sell in every case. The chart shows where the market is, not where a player will finish.

Remember that the chart is built for one league format. These values are for 1QB, 12-team, PPR leagues. In a superflex league, quarterbacks carry more value, so use the superflex page for those leagues.

Chart vs calculator

A trade value chart is a reference. It lists every asset with its own value so you can scan the market. A trade calculator is a tool. It takes the assets on both sides of a specific offer, adds up each side, and shows the difference.

Use the chart to build ideas and see who is in the same range as the player you want. Use the calculator to test a concrete offer with the exact players and picks you are considering.

The chart does not know about your roster, your starters or your competitors. The calculator does not show the whole market at once. Use both.

Rules of thumb for using values

Compare values within the same format only. A 1QB value and a superflex value for the same player are different numbers.

Treat small gaps as noise. A difference of a few percent between two offers is within the range where different leagues and sites disagree.

When a value is falling sharply over 30 days, check news on the player before you trade for him or sell him. A falling value is a sell signal for the holder, and it is never a reason to buy on its own.

Keep draft pick values in the same frame as players. A pick is an asset with a value like any other, and a higher pick in a class is usually worth more than a later one.

What changed in the last 30 days

Across the 397 players on this board, 203 rose over 30 days, 193 fell and 1 was flat.

The biggest gain is Malik Nabers, up 1,370.

The biggest drop is Ashton Jeanty, down 1,562. Check news first; a drop alone is not a buy signal.

Contenders vs rebuilders

The top 12 players hold 16.8% of total player value, so most of the value on the board sits outside the elite tier and depth pieces still decide many trades.

Contenders should spend on current production and pay a premium for players in the top tiers. Rebuilders should lean toward younger players and draft picks, which keep value as the window runs.

Rule of thumb: a contender trading picks for a veteran and a rebuilder trading a veteran for picks are both reasonable, as long as the age and the window match the team.
