How does the fantasy football trade analyzer decide who wins a trade?

It adds up each side's trade value: every player's projected rest-of-season fantasy points minus those of the last starter at his position in a league of your size. The side with more value wins; within 10% the trade is called fair.

Why is a two-for-one trade not just the sum of the points?

Only starters score for you. The second player in a two-for-one usually takes a bench spot or replaces someone you could have picked up for free, so the analyzer values each player above a replacement starter, not by raw points. That is why a star is often worth more than two good players.

How often are the trade values updated?

Every morning with the model's boards (last run 2026-10-13), and the NFL values also move when the injury report changes during the day.

Does it work for my league's scoring?

It covers PPR, half-PPR and standard scoring in one-quarterback leagues of 8 to 16 teams. Superflex, two-QB and dynasty leagues value players differently, so treat it as a redraft read there.

Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer

Add the players you would give and the players you would get. Each one is valued from the rest-of-season board, re-ranked every morning for injuries, byes and depth-chart changes, as the fantasy points he should still score minus those of the last starter at his position in your league. Two good starters do not add up to a star when one of them sits on your bench, and this is how the analyzer accounts for that.

How the trade values work

Trade value is rest-of-season production above a replacement starter at the same position. A player you could replace off the waiver wire is worth zero, however many points he scores.
League size moves the bar: in a 14-team league the last starter is weaker than in a 10-team league, so depth is worth more. Quarterbacks are valued for one-QB leagues.
Fair means the two sides are within 10% of each other. Beyond that, the analyzer names the side that wins and lists players worth about the gap, so you can ask for one to even it out.

Trade analyzer questions

How does the fantasy football trade analyzer decide who wins a trade?: It adds up each side's trade value: every player's projected rest-of-season fantasy points minus those of the last starter at his position in a league of your size. The side with more value wins; within 10% the trade is called fair.
Why is a two-for-one trade not just the sum of the points?: Only starters score for you. The second player in a two-for-one usually takes a bench spot or replaces someone you could have picked up for free, so the analyzer values each player above a replacement starter, not by raw points. That is why a star is often worth more than two good players.
How often are the trade values updated?: Every morning with the model's boards (last run 2026-10-13), and the NFL values also move when the injury report changes during the day.
Does it work for my league's scoring?: It covers PPR, half-PPR and standard scoring in one-quarterback leagues of 8 to 16 teams. Superflex, two-QB and dynasty leagues value players differently, so treat it as a redraft read there.
