More than any season in recent memory, 2021 has tested the depth of our dynasty rosters. Injuries, especially at running back, have pushed us into Plan B and Plan C options. Much of the trade action over the next month is likely to be rebuilding teams trying to get value from contenders for running backs with short-term value. There should be plenty of win-win trade opportunities for active owners. Be careful going too all-in on 2022 rookie picks if you are rebuilding, however. As we will discuss below, the class is lacking top-end skill position talent.
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
Please Note: Dynasty Web Apps will be updated in the coming days. They will incorporate Bob Henry’s rest-of-season projections along with the dynasty values you see below. Links will be added when updated
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 of development so any and all feedback is appreciated (hindery@footballguys.com or @hindery on Twitter).
