Now that we are right in the heart of the fantasy season, it becomes extremely important to figure out whether our dynasty teams are contenders, building solely for 2024 and beyond, or somewhere in between. After making that determination, we can plot our course forward and seek out win-win trades with teams that are on a different path. The best way to do find these win-win trades is by separating each player's dynasty value into two separate categories: 2023 Value and Future Value (2024 and beyond). That separation into the two categories is a big focus of October's Dynasty Trade Value Chart update.

The dynasty trade value chart is tailored to 12-team PPR leagues with a starting lineup of one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end, and one flex. It 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 numerical 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.
