Now that the season is underway, there are only two ways to improve your rosters — waiver wire and trades.
Evaluating a fantasy trade can be a daunting task. Most managers value their players more than they’re actually worth. That’s where the Week 3 fantasy football trade value charts come in. You can also check out our Week 3 fantasy rankings to help with lineup and waiver decisions this week.
The 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, six-points-per-passing-touchdown and superflex leagues are covered as well.
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. Example: If someone in your PPR league offers you Marvin Harrison Jr., RJ Harvey, and Nick Chubb (combined value of 77) for Malik Nabers (63), it might look like you’re getting the better end of it. However, if you’re bumping down, say, Bhayshul Tuten and Troy Franklin (combined value of 43) in the process, it’s a net negative deal for you.
Another note: The ‘1 QB’ values are for standard scoring leagues. Quarterback value diminishes in PPR formats, so deduct roughly 3% of their values in half-PPR and another 3% for full PPR (this number drops as the season goes on and people look to consolidate). Example: Lamar Jackson’s value in standard formats is 42. In half-PPR, his value would be 41 (deducted 3%), and in full PPR, his value would be 39 (deducted 6%).
The rankings are based on how players should be valued in 12-team leagues. Players are sorted in order of their half-PPR values.
