Fantasy football Week 3: Trade value chart and rest-of-season rankings - USA Today

With the 2026 NFL season well underway, there are only two ways to improve your fantasy football roster — waiver wire and trades.

Evaluating a fantasy trade can be a daunting task. Most managers value their players more than they're actually worth. That's where the Week 3 trade value charts come in.

The charts can be used as your very own fantasy football trade analyzer in standard, half-PPR (point per reception) and full PPR leagues. Someone sends you an offer? Simply pull out a calculator (on your phone, you don't need an actual calculator) and plug in the values for each player. Don't worry, six-points-per-passing-touchdown and superflex leagues are covered as well.

Important note: If you're offered an uneven trade (i.e., a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1), include the values for the players you'd be moving to the bench or dropping within your calculation. Example: If someone in your league offers you Travis Etienne Jr., Davante Adams and Stefon Diggs (combined value of 81) for Jonathan Taylor (69), it might look like you're getting the better end of it. However, if you're bumping down, say, Josh Downs and Dontayvion Wicks (combined value of 37) in the process, it's a clear net negative deal for you.

The rankings are based on how players should be valued in 12-team leagues. Players are sorted in order of their half-PPR values.

(NOTE: App users might need to switch to a browser if the charts aren't showing up.)

(Note: "6/TD" is for leagues that award six points for passing touchdowns and "SFLEX" stands for superflex. This table was updated due to an error in Bryce Young's value.)

(This chart has been updated with the news that Jonathon Brooks is out at least 6 weeks.)

Note: These values are for 12-team, one-QB leagues with half-PPR scoring.
