Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart

You spent the weekend watching your fantasy team fail to deliver a win yet again. This is the final straw. Sitting on your couch, staring into the oblivion that was once such a promising season, you vow to trade each and every one of these lollygaggers. Before you make a move that seems good in your chicken wing and light beer-addled state, you consult a trade value chart. Let the experts confirm that your team is a bunch of bums, but also how can you dupe your idiot friends into making a good deal for you.

The SGPN Trade Value Chart utilizes a proprietary blend of herbs and spices, no wait, that’s my famed fried chicken recipe. The Talentless Mr. Roto considered a wide variety of factors while building the trade value chart. Considering FantasyPros Rest of Season Rankings, Performance to date, points above replacement level player, and average draft position. Taking these public ingredients, he weighed the values, made adjustments, and came up with a trade value chart. It remains to be seen if it is valuable, but here it is for your fantasy improvements.

The big takeaway from quarterback was that only six quarterbacks were performing significantly better, 2+ points per game, than replacement level. Josh Allen, Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are proving to be above average starters so far this season. The remarkable thing to consider is that Fitzpatrick had a 5 point week in Week One against the Patriots. Without that game, he has been producing on a Rodgers-like level. Sure he may come back down to Earth, but ride the Fitzmagic roller coaster as long as possible.

Our trade value chart might not appropriately value Alvin Kamara and Aaron Jones enough. Jones is scoring 12.1 points per week above replacement, while Kamara is 14.8 points above replacement. Both of these backs are producing at an absolutely torrid pace and are valued well above their counterparts. Chris Carson has sneakily entered himself into the elite running back conversation. There were initial concerns about him being in a committee to start the year, but he has asserted his role as the lead back for Seattle.

The hate tweets, comments, emails, and more are on their way with Michael Thomas being ranked so low and being valued on level with Chris Godwin and Keenan Allen. However, the facts are the facts. Thomas has only played one game this season and did not look particularly productive. Moving forward, it is unclear what the New Orleans offense will look like or how Thomas will factor in. Additionally, it appears Thomas may be starting to move towards “Diva Land” with the news of his suspension for Monday night’s matchup. All those things combined have to have you wondering if Thomas is the same elite-level value he has been. He is certainly still talented, but he may not be a top-tier value anymore.

As with every year, there are six elite-tier tight ends and then a whole mess of next-level guys on the trade value chart. Although some players like Gesicki, Fant, and Hockenson may crack elite-tier status as the season goes on, they are not quite there yet. There have been too many ups and downs so far each of these guys to reliably count them among the elite. If you have one of the elite-level guys then you are in great shape and can count on their strong value above replacement level down the stretch.
