What Is a Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer?
A fantasy football trade analyzer compares what each side gives up in a trade. You add players to Team A and Team B, the tool values each player under your league's scoring, and it tells you which side comes out ahead and by what percentage. Treat the result as one data point, not a final answer.
Most trade offers arrive with a short deadline and a leaguemate who has already done the math in their favor. This fantasy trade calculator gives you a neutral number in a few seconds: it re-scores every player for the settings your league actually uses instead of a default PPR, 12-team, 1QB setup. If your league starts two quarterbacks or pays tight ends extra, the values change to match.
How to Use This Fantasy Trade Calculator
- Search a player and add them to Team A or Team B.
- Set your league: format, 1QB or superflex, scoring, TE premium, league size.
- Read the verdict and the gap percentage. If it isn't fair, check the Even it out suggestions.
- Copy the share link and send it to your leaguemate or league chat.
The calculator opens with an example trade so you can see how a verdict looks. Press Clear to start your own. Settings are remembered in your browser, so the next time you open the trade analyzer it starts with the same league setup. Nothing you enter is sent to a server.
Is This Trade Fair? How to Read the Result
The verdict card shows one of three results, based on the gap between the two sides:
- Fair trade: the gap is 5% or less. Neither side gives up much value.
- Slight edge: the gap is between 5% and 15%. One side comes out a little ahead.
- Team A wins or Team B wins: the gap is more than 15%.
The gap is the difference between the two side totals divided by the larger total. A 9,000 to 8,000 trade is an 11% gap, so it reads as a slight edge.
Why the side with more players gets a discount
You can only start one player per lineup spot. Three bench pieces rarely add up to one starter, so a straight sum would let anyone win a trade by stacking depth. The analyzer keeps the most valuable piece on each side at full value and scales every other piece down by how far it sits below that top piece. A player worth half of the top piece counts for about 71% of their value; a player worth a quarter counts for half. When the discount changes a total, the card shows "Depth discount applied".
If the result isn't fair, the Even it out list suggests players or picks that would close the gap when added to the side that is behind.
Redraft vs. Dynasty Trade Values
Redraft leagues reset every season, so a player is worth what they score from now until your fantasy playoffs. The redraft values on this page come from points per game this season, with last season blended in as a prior that fades as this season's games add up, so a slow or hot start doesn't swing too far.
Dynasty leagues keep rosters year after year, so a player's value has to cover future seasons too. That adds two things a redraft calculator ignores: an age curve by position, and rookie draft picks as tradeable assets. A 30-year-old running back can be a fine redraft piece and a poor dynasty asset at the same time. To value players and picks over several seasons, use the dynasty trade calculator.
Superflex Leagues
In superflex leagues a quarterback can fill a second starting spot, so the replacement level at QB drops and every starting quarterback gains value. The same trade can flip from fair to lopsided when you switch from 1QB to superflex. For two-quarterback lineups, open the dynasty superflex trade calculator, which starts with superflex turned on.
See Every Player's Value
If you want to browse before you build a trade, the dynasty trade value chart ranks every player and rookie pick on the same 0–10,000 scale. Change the settings and the chart re-ranks; each row has an Add to trade button that opens the dynasty calculator. You can also calculate a dynasty trade straight from there.
Where the Values Come From
Values are computed from nflverse weekly game statistics, which are free to use under CC BY 4.0. For each player we score every game with your scoring settings, average the result, compare it with a replacement-level starter at the same position, and, in dynasty, adjust for age. All players and picks are then put on one 0–10,000 scale so they can be added up.
Every tool shows the date the values were last updated and the last week of stats included. The full method, the data source and the known limits are on how values work.
Limits: What This Analyzer Can't See
There are three common ways to put a number on a fantasy player. Each has a different basis and a different blind spot.
| Value source | Based on | Re-scored for your settings? | Blind spot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expert rankings | An analyst's judgment | Usually one list per format | Depends on one person's view and how often it is refreshed |
| Crowd voting | Many managers choosing between players | Usually a few preset formats | Reflects market mood, which can run ahead of production |
| This site's stats model | Game statistics run through a public formula | Yes, for every setting on the page | No market signal; sees only games already played |
This analyzer has no trade-market signal, so its numbers will differ from crowd-sourced values, sometimes by a lot for young players with little production. The current version does not include injuries or changes in role; a player who just lost their starting job still carries the value of the games they played. Use the verdict as one reference point next to your own read of the roster.
Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer FAQ
How do I know if a fantasy football trade is fair?
Add both sides and look at the gap. Under 5% we call it a fair trade; above that, the side with more value has an edge. Check that the settings match your league first — scoring and superflex can flip the result.
Does it work for PPR, half-PPR and standard scoring?
Yes. Pick your scoring in the settings bar and every value is recalculated from the raw stats. TE premium and superflex are also free to switch.
What's the difference between a trade analyzer and a trade value chart?
A trade value chart ranks every player and pick on one scale. A trade analyzer takes the players in one specific deal, adds up each side under your settings, applies the depth discount and tells you who comes out ahead and by how much.
Why are 3-for-1 trades discounted?
You can only start one player per lineup spot. Three bench pieces rarely add up to one starter, so the side with more players gets a depth discount.
How often are the values updated?
Every page shows the date the values were last updated and the last week of stats included. In the offseason we refresh at least monthly and again right after the NFL Draft.
Where do the values come from?
We compute them from nflverse game stats (CC BY 4.0) using your scoring settings, replacement level and, for dynasty, age curves and pick values. The full method and its known limits are on the How values work page.
Can I share a trade with my league?
Yes. Click Copy share link and the trade and your settings are saved into the link. Anyone who opens it sees the same trade and verdict.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is free and there is no sign-up. The calculation runs in your browser.
Can I sync my Sleeper, ESPN or Yahoo league?
Not yet. League sync is planned and priced at $4.99/mo or $29.99/yr, but it isn't available and nothing can be purchased today. This site is not affiliated with Sleeper, ESPN, or Yahoo.
