CBS Sports fantasy analyst Dave Richard has released the updated Week 9 Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart, reflecting shifting player values ahead of the NFL trade deadline. The chart assigns point values to quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends based on expected future performance, schedule, and public sentiment.
Jets and Raiders Backfields in Focus
The New York Jets backfield remains a puzzle. Braelon Allen has scored at least 18.6 PPR points in three of his last four games and at least 12.4 in each, showing three-down capability. However, when both Allen and Breece Hall were healthy in Weeks 1-2, Hall played over 60% of snaps and dominated goal-line carries. The situation is fluid, making trade assessments difficult.
In Las Vegas, Mike Washington Jr. has been the more effective runner all season but only received significant opportunity in Week 8. Ashton Jeanty has been less effective as a runner but contributes as a pass-catcher. Given the Raiders' upcoming schedule, Jeanty's role may be more valuable in certain matchups, keeping him ahead of Washington on the chart.
Trade Deadline Impact
With the November 10 trade deadline approaching, potential deals could alter backfields, receiving corps, and starting quarterbacks. The Trade Chart will be updated after any major moves.
Chart Methodology and Top Values
The chart, invented over fifteen seasons ago, covers one-QB and two-QB leagues, as well as non-PPR, half-PPR, and full-PPR formats. Managers should deduct 10% from trades where one side includes two or more extra players. Players not listed are worth no more than four points.
Among quarterbacks, Josh Allen leads with 21 points in one-QB four-point passing TD leagues and 46 in two-QB formats. In running backs, Jahmyr Gibbs tops the list at 55 (non-PPR), 56.5 (half-PPR), and 58 (full-PPR). Jaxon Smith-Njigba heads wide receivers at 49/51/53, while Brock Bowers leads tight ends at 22/24/26.
Richard encourages feedback via email or social media to refine future editions.
