Week 1 is in the books, and Week 2 is here. Maybe you hear a knock on the door. Who is it? It’s Owen! Owen who? 0-2, right around the corner. Which means you may be ready to make some trades. It’s no time to panic, but that shouldn’t stop you from looking to upgrade your team as a whole unit. You’ll want to know all your players and picks’ fantasy football dynasty trade value on the fantasy football dynasty trade value chart, and luckily, we have you covered.
Regardless of how good you feel, you must look at your dynasty team and wonder how you can mix things up at all times. It’s always time to improve your dynasty. And we have created the fantasy football dynasty trade value chart to help. This chart is not an end all, be all. Don’t forget at Sports Gambling Podcast, we’re never satisfied. We will continue to tweak this and do our best to perfect it. However, it can give you a good start to weighing trade options.
Speaking of improvement and tweaking, the most challenging part about valuing rookies is they don’t have the fantasy output the other players do. However, now we finally have one week of play. One week of stats can definitely be misleading, so take that into account.

Fantasy Football Dynasty Trade Value Chart – September 2023 Update
Methodology
If you haven’t reviewed our Fantasy Football dynasty trade value chart before, here’s a little on the methodology. First, our rankings system takes FantasyPros’ best, worst, and average rankings. We also throw in a little standard deviation to count all variables.
Second, you have to consider average fantasy football points per game because that’s what fantasy football is all about. Third, values will change throughout the year, especially as rookies get their fantasy football points. And last, we listened to your feedback and altered some things.
Another metric that plays with the dynasty chart is a player’s age. Somebody who is 22 will have a more weighted value than a player who is 32. Is that saying that 22-year-old players are always more talented than 32-year-olds? Absolutely not.
However, it is considered in dynasty value because, at 22, the player will likely be around longer. Considering all that and running it through our formulas, we can assign a value for each player. This value can help weigh your fantasy football trades and improve your future team!

Quarterbacks Recap
It’s no secret that on the fantasy football dynasty trade value chart, the most valuable quarterback is Patrick Mahomes. He has, knock on wood, eluded injury while remaining a top option in fantasy football. Mahomes went 1.01 in most superflex leagues, aside from those that wanted the rushing upside of Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen.
He started slow last week against the Lions on opening night, but I wouldn’t panic. He’s still the most valuable quarterback in the league when it comes to your fantasy football team.
Behind him are Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, and Justin Herbert. Justin Fields was in this top-five list prior to Sunday’s game. Now, fantasy football managers are asking themselves if they’ve invested too much and if the Bears’ coaching staff has taken Justin Fields out of Justin Fields. Josh Allen didn’t have a good Week 1, with four turnovers to go along with a poor performance. Still, he’s a young gun-slinger with rushing upside that the fantasy rankers love.
His value is tied with Burrow, who somehow had an even worse Week 1, scoring just over three total fantasy points. These will likely be outlier games, and both of these quarterbacks are going to rebound nicely.
Hurts had a good Thursday night football game against the Vikings, where he found the end zone with his legs as well as hit Devonta Smith for some big plays. Finally, at fifth, Justin Herbert looked good in Kellen Moore’s offense. I expect them to continue to grow this year as an offense, and he’ll remain in the top five.

Running Backs Recap
There’s a new king atop the running back portion of the fantasy football dynasty trade value chart. I’ll be honest, I still have some doubts about Bijan being a top-five running back overall for this year. However, from a dynasty stance, he is the top dog. He showed his playmaking ability last week for the Falcons. Even while splitting reps with Tyler Allgeier, Bijan made the best of what he was given and had a good fantasy day.
Behind him, Breece Hall showed he was also back to play elite football. Despite returning from injury, despite the Aaron Rodgers injury throwing the game askew, Hall had 10 carries for 127 yards. 127 yards rushing and 20 yards receiving was his damage on a pitch count. I can’t imagine what he will do once they turn over a full workload for him. Maybe we have to wait a year to see that since Dalvin Cook is in town. However, I still think he’ll be just fine.
The third, fourth, and fifth spots are taken by the guys who used to lead the dynasty trade value chart. Christian McCaffrey looked as explosive as ever in Week 1. However, injury history and his age give him a slight downgrade in dynasty. He’s still a top-notch player, though. The entire Giants didn’t have a good game in Week 1 against the Cowboys, and that includes Saquon. I think he’ll bounce back, though, and be just fine.
Finally, the Jonathan Taylor saga continues. He’s ineligible for play until at least Week 5, but even that isn’t a guarantee at this point. He’s still a very talented player, and whether it’s this year or next, will make an impact on the field.

Wide Receivers Recap
Raise your hand if you’re surprised to see Justin Jefferson is the top wide receiver on the fantasy football dynasty trade value chart. Now, take that hand and smack yourself. Justin Jefferson is an alpha on the football field, as evidenced by two dominant performances.
He followed up his 19.5 half-ppr points against the Bucs with 19.4 against the Eagles. Oh, and by the way, he’s only 24 years old and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. In a non-superflex league, he’s the top-rated player in dynasty value.
Behind him is Ja’Marr Chase. Chase is slighted a few points because not only does the offense spread the ball around, but he faced some injuries last year. Dynasty managers will look for him to bounce back within the next couple of weeks before they start hitting the panic button. Next is Garrett Wilson and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
St. Brown has a better quarterback throwing to him in Jared Goff, but the Wilson-to-Wilson connection showed that it can still be good on Monday night. The Lions were the most balanced offense in the league last year, which often leads to St. Brown getting some good looks, as defenses have to plan for everything.
Next is a three-way tie between Jaylen Waddle, CeeDee Lamb, and A.J. Brown. This really is a pick your poison as they’re all around the same age and have quarterbacks that feed them the ball. You may think Waddle is slighted a little by playing opposite Tyreek Hill. However, they both finished in the top-10 last year, and there’s no reason they can’t do that again.

Tight Ends Recap
Without even playing a game, the “old men” Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews find themselves atop the tight ends on the fantasy football dynasty trade value chart. These two are both elite playmakers who aren’t done making plays yet. It’s also a testament to how tricky the tight end position is in fantasy football and a top reason why a lot of fantasy managers punt on the position.
Behind them is T.J. Hockenson, who has shown to be such a versatile weapon, first for the Lions and now for the Vikings. He’s coming off a big game against the Eagles, and they’ll look to keep him involved. Hockenson is from the new Tight End-U, Iowa, and remains on the field for both his catching and blocking abilities.
I am hesitant to keep Kyle Pitts here. If we’re talking strictly on talent, he’s definitely in the top five. Still, he’s on a team that has under-utilized his skill, and I’m afraid will continue to do so. However, if the Steelers can rebound and have an offense that looks better than it did in Week 1 against the 49ers, Freiermuth will remain a top option at tight end.
