How we calculated this
BuzCalculator editorial valuation model. BuzCalculator values are normalized comparison scores, not dollar values. The repo-owned, manually reviewed snapshot assigns separate redraft and dynasty values from 0–100. Values are subjective planning estimates, not official rankings, projections or a consensus chart.
Redraft uses redraftValue; Dynasty uses dynastyValue to reflect multi-season runway. Half-PPR is the baseline. PPR multiplies RB by 1.03, WR by 1.05 and TE by 1.04. Standard multiplies RB by 1.03, WR by 0.95 and TE by 0.96. QB scoring multiplier is always 1. Superflex adds 25 points to listed QBs; 1QB adds zero. These conservative positional assumptions do not model individual reception volume.
Adjusted player values are capped at 120 and rounded to one decimal before summing. Custom scores (0–100) are your league-specific estimates, stay exactly as entered, and need manual review when settings change. Raw player value = sum of adjusted player values. Adjusted trade value = raw player value + roster bonus.
When both sides contain players and counts differ, the side receiving fewer gets min(5, absolute player-count difference × 2) points with Roster-spot adjustment On. Off gives zero. Fairness = 100 × (1 − absolute value difference / larger adjusted total), clamped to 0–100. Both totals zero makes fairness unavailable. Missing either side prevents a final verdict.
95–100%: Very balanced; 88–below 95%: Slight advantage; 75–below 88%: Moderate advantage; below 75%: Strong advantage. Bands use the unrounded fairness score; the higher adjusted total has the modeled edge. Equal positive totals are an Even trade. No winner is assigned at zero vs zero. Below 95% fairness, the suggestion shows the approximate value gap on the lower-value side; adding another player can also change the roster bonus.
How fantasy trade values work
Compare fantasy football trades and see which side has the value edge. Add players to both sides, choose your league format, and compare BuzCalculator’s estimated trade values. Values are planning estimates and may change as player roles and conditions change. Search the bundled NFL list or add a custom player, then read the raw totals, roster adjustment and verdict. All controls start at Redraft, Half-PPR, 1QB and roster adjustment On.
Why trade values are subjective
Trade values are subjective because managers have different roster needs, replacement options, risk tolerance and expectations. The 0–100 base scale describes relative planning value: 95–100 elite cornerstone, 85–94 high-end asset, 70–84 strong starter, 50–69 starter or flex, 30–49 depth, 10–29 speculative and 1–9 low-value asset. These are internal tiers, not absolute player rankings; zero is unrated.
Redraft vs dynasty values
Redraft estimates focus on present-season utility. Dynasty estimates use a separate manually assigned score that gives more weight to multi-season runway and development while allowing uncertainty. They are not derived from a fixed age formula. Selecting Dynasty replaces the redraft base for each listed player before scoring and QB adjustments. Custom scores are already your own league-specific estimates.
PPR vs Half-PPR vs Standard
PPR awards a point per reception; Half-PPR awards half and Standard awards none for receptions. This model uses Half-PPR as its comparison baseline. Its PPR multipliers are RB 1.03, WR 1.05 and TE 1.04. Standard uses RB 1.03, WR 0.95 and TE 0.96. QB stays at 1 in all scoring modes. A positional model cannot distinguish every pass-catching specialist; enter a custom score if your assumptions differ.
Why quarterbacks matter more in Superflex
In Superflex, another lineup slot can accept a quarterback. That increases demand for usable QBs relative to a 1QB league. Our internal assumption adds 25 to listed QB scores after scoring adjustments, with a 120 ceiling. The 1QB setting adds nothing. League size and available replacements are not modeled.
How multi-player trades are evaluated
Add one to five players per side. The sums recompute when league settings change, and 1-for-1, 2-for-1, 3-for-2 and 5-for-5 are all supported. Raw player value is the sum of league-adjusted player scores, not the unadjusted snapshot bases. The highest-value player label means highest modeled trade value and says nothing about who is best in real football.
What the roster-spot adjustment means
Roster-spot adjustment gives the side receiving fewer players two points per count difference, capped at five, only when both sides contain players. It defaults On and can be disabled. This modest premium represents consolidation and freed roster space; it does not simulate your bench or identify a replacement player. Both raw and adjusted trade values remain visible.
How fairness score is calculated
Fairness is symmetric: reversing both totals leaves the score unchanged. For 85 vs 78, the seven-point difference gives 100 × (1 − 7/85) = 91.7647…%, shown as 92% fair. The band is Slight advantage. Equal positive totals such as 80 vs 80 give 100% and an Even trade. For zero vs zero, fairness is unavailable and there is no winner. Bands use unrounded scores even when the display rounds.
Worked example: why a 2-for-1 trade can differ from raw sum
One player valued at 85 versus two valued at 40 and 38 produces raw totals 85 vs 78. With the adjustment On, the one-player side gets two points: 87 vs 78, a gap of nine and fairness of about 89.7%. With it Off, fairness is about 91.8%. Receiving depth and receiving consolidated talent have different roster consequences, which this small premium only approximates.
Injuries, roles and reviewing the snapshot
Player values last updated: 2026-10-10. Data version: 2026-W41-v1. A weekly manual review should verify player identities and teams, reassess both format values, update the dataset date/version and run its audit. Injuries, performance and role changes can make this snapshot stale before the next review. There is no live status, automatic update or runtime player API. Check relevant information independently before making a trade.
Assumptions and limitations
This calculator does not guarantee a winning trade. It excludes roster construction, league size, keeper costs, salary caps, TE premium, IDP, draft picks and individual projections. NFL fantasy football is the only sport supported in v1. Custom names and scores remain plain text in the current browser page session; refreshing or Reset clears the trade. No account, league connection, saved trade, query-state URL or remote calculation is used. Player and team names are used for identification only.

FAQ
What is a fantasy football trade value calculator?
It compares the players you receive with the players you give using a dated internal scoring model and your selected league settings.
How do I know if a fantasy trade is fair?
Compare both adjusted totals, their fairness score and your roster needs. Similar modeled totals are a starting point for discussion, not proof of equal utility.
How is the fairness score calculated?
100 × (1 − absolute difference / larger adjusted total). For 85 vs 78 with roster adjustment Off, that is approximately 91.8%. Zero vs zero is unavailable.
What is a good fairness score?
This model calls 95–100% Very balanced and 88–below 95% Slight advantage. A high score means similar modeled values, not a guaranteed good decision.
Does this calculator support 2-for-1 trades?
Yes. Each side can contain one to five players. With roster adjustment On, the one-player side receives a two-point consolidation bonus.
Does it support 3-for-2 trades?
Yes. A three-player side and two-player side are valid; the two-player side receives two bonus points when the adjustment is On.
How does PPR change trade value?
The internal PPR model adds 3% to RB, 5% to WR and 4% to TE snapshot values. It approximates positional reception effects; it is not an individual reception projection.
What is the difference between redraft and dynasty?
Redraft focuses on the current season. Dynasty carries players across seasons, so the separate dynasty estimates consider longer-term runway and uncertainty.
How does Superflex affect quarterback value?
A Superflex slot can accept a quarterback as well as other eligible offensive positions. This model adds 25 points to listed QBs and caps adjusted player scores at 120.
What is the roster-spot adjustment?
It is a small bonus to the side receiving fewer players: two points per count difference, capped at five. Turn it Off for pure summed values.
How often are player values updated?
This is a dated, manually maintained snapshot, not an automated feed. Check the displayed update date; the manual workflow calls for weekly review but does not promise that it has occurred.
Are these official fantasy player values?
No. They are BuzCalculator editorial valuation model estimates. NFL and fantasy platforms do not approve or endorse the scores.
Can injuries change a player’s trade value?
Yes. Injuries, role changes and team context can make estimates stale between reviews. This calculator imports no injury status or news feed.
Why can two fantasy managers value the same player differently?
Roster needs, risk tolerance, time horizon, scoring and replacement options differ. A common normalized scale helps comparison without eliminating those differences.
Can I add a custom player?
Yes. Enter a plain-text name up to 60 characters, QB/RB/WR/TE and a 0–100 value with at most one decimal. It remains in the current page session and is never saved.
Does this calculator guarantee a good trade?
No. It gives a deterministic estimate, not a forecast of performance or a promise that a trade improves your team.

Adjusted trade value = raw player value + roster bonus.
When both sides contain players and counts differ, the side receiving fewer gets min(5, absolute player-count difference × 2) points with Roster-spot adjustment On. Off gives zero. Fairness = 100 × (1 − absolute value difference / larger adjusted total), clamped to 0–100. Both totals zero makes fairness unavailable. Missing either side prevents a final verdict.
95–100%: Very balanced; 88–below 95%: Slight advantage; 75–below 88%: Moderate advantage; below 75%: Strong advantage. Bands use the unrounded fairness score; the higher adjusted total has the modeled edge. Equal positive totals are an Even trade. No winner is assigned at zero vs zero. Below 95% fairness, the suggestion shows the approximate value gap on the lower-value side; adding another player can also change the roster bonus.
