Fantasy Trade Calculator & Grader

How does the fantasy football trade analyzer work?

Type a player into each side and read the verdict. Add as many players as the deal has; the trade calculator totals each side, calls the winner, and names a player worth roughly the gap. Click any row in the trade value chart to drop that player straight into the trade.

Where do the trade values come from?

Our projection model, the same one behind the rest-of-season rankings. In redraft mode a player is worth the half-PPR points a game we expect from him the rest of the way (his preseason projection, updated by every game he has played), over a full 17 games, minus the games an injury or IR stint will cost him. In best ball mode that number is weighted by his ceiling, because in best ball your big weeks count and your bad ones do not. Values are fantasy points, so "wins by 40" is a 40-point gap over a full season at these paces, not an index.

What is the difference between redraft and dynasty trade values?

Redraft only cares about this season; dynasty cares about the next several. A 30-year-old running back can be a top redraft asset and a sell in dynasty. This page prices redraft and best ball. For keeper and dynasty leagues, with an age curve and rookie picks, use the dynasty trade calculator.

How often are the values updated?

Every week, after the games. Each Tuesday the week's box scores update every player's pace, and the latest injury report takes out the games he will miss. The values on this page were last updated October 9, 2026. The table and the calculator read the same file, so what you see in the table is exactly what a trade is priced on.

How does the fantasy trade grader work?

Each side gets a letter grade from the value it gets back. Even within 5% of the deal is a B+ for both sides. Getting 5 to 15% more is an A-, 15 to 30% more an A, and past 30% an A+. The other side drops the same steps: C+, then D, then F for a fleece. The grade runs on the same trade values as the calculator, so the letter and the verdict always agree.

How should I read the verdict?

Inside 5% is a fair trade. Past that we call the winning side, size the gap in points, and name a player worth about that much, so you know what you are giving away. A fair trade can still be wrong for your roster; the league trade analyzer grades it against your Sleeper team.

Is the trade analyzer free?

Yes. The trade analyzer and calculator are free, with no signup and no limit on trades. Share any trade with the button under the verdict; the link opens with both sides filled in.
