Redraft Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart – September 2023 Update

Week 1 of the NFL season is over, and Week 2 is already starting. By now, you’ve already touted how good your draft was. Or perhaps you’re panicking. Either way, you can always improve your team. However, how do you weigh the difference between “player A” and “player B”? Don’t worry; we can help! Our redraft fantasy football trade chart weighs the values of players to give you a little help on what trades may seem evenly weighted.

Or, you can use it to show your league mates why you’re offering a good deal! Either way, we hope it can help you trade your way to success. There have been a couple of changes since our last redraft trade chart, and we will continue to make changes as we always want to keep improving the methodology behind it. Speaking of methodology, let’s talk about that real quick.

The Methodology

What is a trade value chart, you ask? Our methodology takes FantasyPros Rest of Season Rankings and average points per game. After that, consider points above replacement level player and average draft position. Is that it? No, that’s not it! Finally, we tweak the numbers ever so slightly to make sure it all makes sense.

This fantasy football trade value chart is different than the dynasty trade value chart that you can find here. One of the main differences is this solely focuses on fantasy output and change in value rather than age, as the dynasty chart heavily considers.

September 2023 Redraft Trade Value Chart

Fantasy Football Redraft Trade Value Chart – September 2023 Update

Quarterbacks

Quarterbacks Recap

Age doesn’t matter when it comes to the redraft fantasy football trade value chart. However, talent does. Just like on the dynasty chart, Patrick Mahomes is the number one quarterback on the list. Despite the Chiefs already starting the year slow, he’s a consistent fantasy football player. He’s followed by another player who had a slow start in Josh Allen. Still, Allen is normally a high-scoring quarterback in fantasy football due to his big arm and willingness to pick up yards with his feet.

Speaking of picking up yards with his feet, Lamar Jackson comes in at third. When you throw age to the side, he’s an excellent quarterback to lead your fantasy football team. The same is true for Jalen Hurts. Hurts finds some more success in the passing game than Lamar; however, they’re both great options. Finally, at number five is Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence. Both of these young gun-slingers are hungry to prove that they belong in the conversation of the top quarterbacks.

Running Backs

Running Backs Recap

There’s no secret that when healthy, Christian McCaffrey is the best running back in the league. He’s versatile, contributing in the running and passing game, and a top-tier talent. In redraft, you can’t think of age or injury history. You just have to think of the now. Through Week 1, he had one of the best games of all running backs and is at the top of the running back fantasy football trade value chart for redraft. He’s tied for top on the entire chart with a wide receiver.

So far, through one week, we’ve seen some great performances and some duds as well. Even though he’ll likely miss Week 2, Austin Ekeler lands at the second spot for the redraft trade chart. Like CMC, Ekeler contributes in both the run and passing game. Tony Pollard also looked good, even though it was only one week, and they had a large lead. We’ll have to see what he continues doing when the games are tougher, but he looks to be a great fantasy football piece this year.

Pollard is tied with Chubb, who is one of the best pure running backs in the league. We refer to him as a grown-ass man on Old-Fashioned Football, and when you watch him play, you can see why. He’s a hard runner who is comfortable juking or running you over. The same can be said for rookie Bijan Robinson, who makes his first appearance on the redraft fantasy football trade value chart. Bijan looked the part in Week 1 and is likely to continue to get the ball put in his hands.

Wide Receivers

Wide Receivers Recap

Justin Jefferson was the top receiver on the dynasty fantasy football trade value chart. However, he’s currently sitting at second on the redraft. This may change as the season progresses, though. However, through one week of play, it’s hard not to say Tyreek Hill sits atop the wide receivers and maybe even the league. He’s uncoverable, he’s fast, and he’s going to keep racking up yards this year.

Next is a three-way tie between Amon Ra St. Brown, Ja’Marr Chase, and AJ Brown. All three of these receivers have shown a great connection with their quarterbacks and may flip-flop all year with which one is the better option. St. Brown and Goff built a great connection last year and already look to be on the same page this year. On the other hand, AJ Brown was seen frustrated with Jalen Hurts in last night’s game against the Vikings due to limited targets.

Ja’Marr Chase and the Bengals had a rough first week against the Browns. However, look for them to bounce back. Chase is still one of the top receivers in the league, and I wouldn’t be hitting that panic button quite yet.

Tight Ends

Tight Ends Recap

Which age thrown out of the formulas on the redraft version of the fantasy football trade value chart, Travis Kelce is top of the charts in a big way. He’s hands down the top fantasy football tight end in the league. In fact, when looking at the values, he’s 13 points ahead of Mark Andrews, the second tight end. Both of these guys were held out in Week 1 due to injury, yet both find themselves on the top of the list still.

Behind them is T.J. Hockenson, who had a big Week 2 already. He’s a playmaker and a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. The same can be said for the guy in fifth place, George Kittle. Both former Iowa tight ends, Kittle and Hockenson, can bring a lot of value. Kittle’s toughest part has been staying healthy.

At fourth is Darren Waller. Talent has never been a question for Waller. Health has been a bit of a question more often recently. However, after getting out of Vegas and off the Raiders, Waller has a fresh start with the Giants. Waller could end up leading this team in receiving. I wouldn’t worry about him just yet, but maybe you can trade for him relatively cheap.
