Trading in dynasty leagues is basically a high-stakes stock market where the ticker tape never stops and everyone thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. You’ve probably been there: staring at a trade offer at 2:00 AM, wondering if giving up a 2027 first-rounder for an aging veteran is a stroke of genius or a total disaster. This is where the FantasyPros dynasty trade value chart enters the chat. It’s the closest thing we have to a "Blue Book" for fantasy football assets, but honestly, most managers use it all wrong.
It’s not just a list of numbers. It is a snapshot of consensus.
The January 2026 update just hit, and the landscape is shifting fast. If you’re still valuing players based on what they did in October, you’re already behind. Dynasty value isn’t just about points; it’s about perceived longevity and market liquidity.
Why the FantasyPros Dynasty Trade Value Chart Is Your Best Reality Check
Look, we all have "our guys." You might be convinced that Malik Willis is finally going to have his 2026 breakout as a starter, but the market doesn’t care about your feelings. The FantasyPros dynasty trade value chart aggregates rankings from heavy hitters like Pat Fitzmaurice, Andrew Erickson, and Derek Brown to create a "price" for every player.
It’s a consensus.

This matters because it tells you what the average person in your league thinks a player is worth. If the chart says Drake Maye is worth 103 points in Superflex and you think he’s worth 150, you have a massive buying opportunity—or a delusional bias.
The Math Behind the Madness
The values aren't just pulled out of thin air. They’re built on the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). The platform converts these rankings into a numerical scale so you can actually "add" players together.
For example, in the latest Superflex values:
- Drake Maye (NE): 103
- Josh Allen (BUF): 101
- Jayden Daniels (WAS): 91
If someone offers you Jayden Daniels and a late 2026 1st (valued around 39) for Drake Maye, the "math" says you’re winning that trade. But wait. Life isn't a spreadsheet. A 2-for-1 trade usually requires the side giving up the best player to get a "consolidation premium" of about 10-15%. You can’t just trade four quarters for a dollar in dynasty; nobody wants the quarters.
The Superflex Surge and the QB Premium
If you’re playing in a Superflex league and you aren’t checking the specific SF column on the FantasyPros dynasty trade value chart, you’re playing with fire. Quarterbacks in this format are like gold in a recession.
The gap is wild.
Take a guy like Bo Nix. In a 1QB league, he’s a 38. In Superflex? He jumps to a 64. That’s a massive swing. The 2026 landscape has seen some weird shifts already. Jalen Hurts is trending down a bit because people are worried about the sustainability of his rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence is climbing after a hot finish to the 2025 season.
The market is reactionary. Use that.

Rookie Picks: The Only Currency That Doesn't Get Injured
The most interesting part of the FantasyPros dynasty trade value chart is how it handles draft picks. Right now, 2026 picks are basically "cash." Managers know who the top prospects are. They can see the path.
2027 picks? Those are more like speculative crypto.
The chart currently values an early 2026 1st-round pick (1.01–1.03) at around 54 points in Superflex. That’s roughly the same value as Dak Prescott or Cam Ward. Think about that. You are trading a proven, starting NFL quarterback for a "mystery box" that has a 50% chance of being a bust.
Rookie fever is a real disease.
The best way to use the chart is to find where pick values are inflated. If your league mates are obsessed with the "next big thing," use the chart to show them that their 1.05 pick is technically worth less than a veteran like Brock Purdy. Sometimes the "boring" move is the one that wins championships.
Common Traps to Avoid
Don't be the manager who treats the chart as gospel. It’s a guide, not a law.
- The Roster Context Trap: The chart doesn't know you only have one starting RB. If you trade your only RB for "better value" at WR, you might win the trade on paper and lose every game on the field.
- The "Fair Trade" Fallacy: Just because the numbers add up doesn't mean the trade is good. A trade that is "fair" at 100 points vs 100 points can still be a disaster if you're giving up a Top-5 asset for three Top-50 assets.
- The Lag Factor: Expert rankings take time to move. If a player gets traded to a powerhouse offense on a Tuesday, the chart might not reflect that until Thursday. That 48-hour window is your profit margin.
Actionable Strategy for Your Next Move
Stop sending blind offers.
First, sync your league with the FantasyPros "My Playbook" tool. It pulls in your actual roster and settings. Then, look at the FantasyPros dynasty trade value chart to identify the "Value Gaps."
- Buy the "Debate Zone" QBs: Right now, guys in the QB7 to QB12 range (like Jordan Love or C.J. Stroud) are seeing a lot of price volatility. If a manager in your league is panicking, use the chart to ground the negotiation.
- Sell the Hype: Luther Burden is the name on everyone’s lips for 2026. If someone is willing to pay "Top 8 WR" prices for him before he even takes an NFL snap, the chart says you should probably consider selling.
- Liquidity Check: If you’re rebuilding, trade your aging vets for 2027 picks now. The chart values them lower today than it will in 12 months. You're essentially buying future points at a discount.
Basically, the chart is your shield against bad deals. It keeps you from being the person who gets "fleece-posted" in the league group chat. Use it to find the baseline, then use your own scouting to find the edge.
