2026 Player Value Table
Use this dynasty trade value chart as a common language for trade talks. Search a player, narrow the table by position, or sort the full player pool to compare age and long-term market value.

Method note: These are original example scores on a 0–100 scale, synthesized from public 2026 ADP signals, broad market sentiment, age, role, and projected career runway. They are not copied rankings or live prices. The baseline is a 12-team, one-quarterback PPR league; adjust for your scoring, lineup, and roster rules.
A practical workflow
How to Use the Dynasty Trade Value Chart
A score is a starting point for a negotiation, not an automatic verdict. Apply the same repeatable process to every offer.
Account for league context
Raise quarterbacks in Superflex, pass-catching backs in full PPR, and tight ends in premium scoring. Then consider lineup depth, rebuilding timelines, contender needs, roster space, and whether a scarce starter is difficult to replace.
Price the package, not only the total
Two depth players rarely equal one elite starter even when their scores add up. The manager receiving the best player may deserve a consolidation premium because elite lineup spots and open roster slots have extra utility.

A Better Framework for Long-Term Player Value
The best decisions balance current points with the seasons, flexibility, and resale value that remain after today.
What makes a dynasty league different?
In a dynasty league, managers keep most or all of their rosters from one season to the next. The initial startup draft creates a long-lived team, while annual rookie drafts, waivers, and trades reshape it over time. That continuity turns every move into a portfolio decision. A productive veteran can help win now, but a younger player may contribute for longer and remain easier to trade later.
This format rewards managers who understand both football performance and market cycles. Team direction matters: a contender can rationally exchange future flexibility for immediate points, while a rebuilding roster may accept short-term weakness to acquire youth and a longer window.
Turning scores into trade decisions
Begin by comparing the total scores, then examine what the total hides. Position scarcity, weekly lineup requirements, bench size, and the number of starters all affect replacement cost. An elite tight end may create a larger weekly advantage than a similarly valued wide receiver if the waiver pool at tight end is thin.
Next, identify your time horizon. Contenders should value dependable roles and near-term volume, while rebuilding teams can tolerate uncertainty in exchange for age and upside. Finally, consider liquidity: highly desired young players are often easier to move in a later deal. If an offer is close, use the trend indicator to understand current sentiment, but never treat a short-term arrow as a forecast.
PPR versus standard scoring
Point-per-reception leagues award a point, or sometimes half a point, for each catch. That rule increases the usefulness of receivers, tight ends, and running backs with reliable passing-game roles. A back who catches five passes can produce a stable weekly floor even when rushing volume is modest. Target share and route participation therefore matter alongside carries and touchdowns.
Standard leagues do not award reception points, so rushing volume, yardage, red-zone work, and touchdown opportunity become relatively more important. The table uses a full-PPR baseline. In standard formats, lower low-volume possession receivers and receiving specialists slightly, then raise backs and big-play scorers whose value does not depend on catches. League-specific bonuses can create further adjustments.
How the values are updated
The scores combine public ADP direction with broad market consensus, then apply editorial judgment for age, production, role security, health, contract stability, and expected career runway. Reviews are most useful after information-rich events: free agency, the NFL Draft, depth-chart changes, training camp reports, injuries, breakouts, and meaningful changes in usage.
Updates should be deliberate rather than reactive. One highlight or rumor rarely changes a career outlook by itself. Sustained volume, improved efficiency, a new contract, or a confirmed role can justify a larger move. The visible date tells you when this example set was last reviewed, and the arrows summarize recent direction rather than guarantee future performance.
Why player value changes during the season
Market value moves because new evidence changes expectations. A young receiver earning more routes may gain both immediate projection and long-term confidence. A veteran can fall after an injury, reduced playing time, declining efficiency, or added competition. Quarterback changes and offensive line performance can also reshape the environment around a player.
Timing creates opportunity. Contenders often pay more for healthy producers near the trade deadline, while the offseason shifts attention toward rookies and future upside. Separate temporary excitement from lasting role changes, and compare the market price with what your specific roster actually needs.
Important limits of any value table
No universal score can fully model your league. Superflex makes quarterbacks substantially more valuable; tight end premium changes positional scarcity; shallow leagues favor stars; and deep leagues make usable depth more important. Draft picks, taxi squads, salaries, contracts, and devy eligibility add further variables.
Use the numbers to frame a conversation and catch obvious imbalances. Before accepting, check league settings, starting requirements, team direction, injury news, and the other manager’s needs. A fair market deal can still be wrong for your roster, while a slight numerical overpay can be sensible when it completes a championship lineup.
Common questions
Dynasty Value FAQ
Quick answers about the assumptions, update schedule, and best use of the table.
What is a dynasty trade value chart?
It is a relative scoring system for comparing the long-term market value of players in leagues where managers keep most or all of their rosters from year to year. It weighs future seasons as well as immediate production.
How often is the value chart updated?
The chart is reviewed when meaningful information changes the market, with more frequent reviews around free agency, the NFL Draft, training camp, major injuries, depth-chart changes, and the regular season.
Why is a young player worth more in dynasty?
A younger player may provide more productive seasons and can retain resale value longer. Age is not the only input, however; talent, role security, health, position, contract, and team context can outweigh a small age gap.
Can I use this chart for redraft leagues?
Not as a direct redraft ranking. Redraft leagues care mainly about the current season, while these values include age, career runway, and future market value. Use current-year projections for redraft decisions.
Does the chart work for Superflex leagues?
The displayed values use a one-quarterback PPR baseline. Superflex formats make starting quarterbacks much scarcer, so quarterback values should be increased substantially before evaluating a deal.
