We are on the cusp of the 2021 season. It is time to reap the rewards of our offseason work. It is also a good time to take stock of where we are at in terms of contention. If we are entering a rebuilding year, it is a great time to look at trading those veteran players whose value may never be higher. On the other hand, if we are contenders, it is a good time to have some patience. Hope abounds at this point of the dynasty season. Even that owner with the awful roster may not be keen on trading his veteran running back away now for a future rookie pick. Do not panic and become overly concerned with your Week 1 roster. Once the losses start piling up for other teams, the asking price on those veterans will drop and the rookie picks will be more coveted. Hold your water and make your big “win now” moves in October or November.
In this month’s dynasty trade value article, we will go deeper on:
- A closer look at the rookie quarterbacks
- The injury fallout in Baltimore and Jacksonville
- The wide receivers outside of the Top 40 who have made big moves up the rankings
The dynasty trade value chart is tailored to 12-team PPR leagues a starting lineup of one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end, and one flex. It now also includes trade values for Superflex leagues in a separate column. The chart is meant to serve primarily as a guide for trades but can also be a great resource during startup drafts. If the players and picks on each side of the trade offer add up to approximately the same number, the trade would be considered even. If you receive a trade offer that sends you players with a higher total number value than the players you are giving up, the offer is worth strongly considering. Each league is different, so pay close attention to the scoring and starting roster requirements specific to your league.
Dynasty Web Apps
We recently introduced a customizable dynasty trade value chart that adjusts the player values to fit your league size, starting lineup requirements, and scoring. Thank you to all who provided feedback. The newest version is available here:
We also made a simple dynasty trade value evaluator that allows you to analyze potential deals by entering the players and picks involved. It is available here:
These are still in the early stages so any and all feedback is appreciated (hindery@footballguys.com or @hindery on Twitter).
