Trade value, defined

Trade value is a single number that captures a player's worth in fantasy football, letting you compare very different players and multi-player packages on one scale. Values depend on scoring format (PPR, half-PPR, standard, dynasty) and update through the season. Comparing the summed value of each side gives a quick read on who wins a deal.

The formula

Side total = value of player 1 + player 2 + …
value gap = |Side A total − Side B total|
fair if gap ÷ larger side ≤ 10%

Worked example

Side A gives players worth 42 + 18 = 60. Side B gives 38 + 15 = 53. The gap is 7, which is 7 ÷ 60 ≈ 11.7%, just outside the fair range, tilting toward Side B (who gives up less to get more).

Frequently asked questions

How does a fantasy trade calculator work?

Assign each player a value, sum both sides, and compare totals.

Where do trade values come from?

Ranking sources; they vary by format, so use one source for both sides.

What counts as a fair trade?

Roughly within 10% of total value, though roster needs matter too.

Does adding more players help?

It consolidates value but costs you roster depth.

Should I only trust the numbers?

No, weigh injuries, schedule, standings and positional need.
