Now that the season is nearly a quarter of the way through, 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 5 fantasy football trade value charts come in. You can also check out our Week 5 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 half-PPR league offers you Trey Benson, Zay Flowers, and Travis Hunter (combined value of 85) for Puka Nacua (68), it might look like you’re getting the better end of it. However, if you’re bumping down, say, Darius Slayton and Kendre Miller (combined value of 40) 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: Patrick Mahomes’ value in standard formats is 27. In half-PPR, his value would be 26 (deducted 3%), and in full PPR, his value would be 25 (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.
