How to use the trade analyzer
It takes about ten seconds. Set your league, add the players, read the verdict.
- Match your league. Pick redraft or dynasty, the scoring (PPR, half PPR or standard) and one quarterback or superflex. Each setting has its own value table.
- Add both sides. Type a name, team or position under "You give" and "You get". Add as many players as the trade has.
- Read the verdict. You see who comes out ahead and by how much. If the trade is lopsided, the analyzer suggests a player that would even it out. Tap a suggestion to add it.
When you like the trade, copy the link and send it to the other manager. The link opens this page with the same players and settings.
How the analyzer decides who wins
Every player gets a value between 0 and 10,000. The value measures how many fantasy points a player should add over the rest of the season compared with a player you could get for free.
We start from the projected points for every remaining week of the fantasy season, through week 17. Then we find the replacement level at each position: the player you would start if one of your starters went down. In a 12-team league that is one bench player for every three starters, so at quarterback it is the 16th-best one. A running back who projects 120 points above that level is worth twice as much as one who projects 60 above it. The best player in the format is set to 10,000 and everyone else is scaled to match.
This is why a quarterback can score more points than a running back and still be worth less. In a one-quarterback league, the 16th-best quarterback is a decent starter, so the gap between a top passer and a free one is smaller than the gap at running back.
Why one star beats two good players
Adding up values is not enough. You can only start so many players, and two good receivers do not help if only one makes your lineup. So before we total a side, bigger values get extra weight. Each value is raised to the power 1.35, the results are summed, and the sum is taken back to the normal scale.
In practice:
- Two players at 4,000 count as about 6,680. One player at 8,000 wins that trade clearly.
- Two players at 5,000 count as about 8,360, close enough to 8,000 to call it fair.
- Three players at 3,000 count as about 6,770. Quantity rarely beats quality.
What the verdict means
The verdict compares the two adjusted totals and says how far apart they are, as a share of the bigger side.
| Gap between the sides | Verdict | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 5 percent or less | Fair trade | Send it. Most fair offers get a real look. |
| 5 to 15 percent | Slight edge | Fine if it fixes a roster need for one side. |
| More than 15 percent | Clear win | Expect a no, or add one of the suggested players. |
A fair verdict is usually the goal. Lopsided offers waste time and make the next negotiation harder. You win trades by finding a deal that helps your lineup more than theirs, not by fleecing someone. Our guide on how to win a fantasy trade covers that in detail.
Redraft, dynasty and superflex values
Redraft values only care about this season. Dynasty values care about a player's whole career, so youth matters and rookie picks have value. Superflex leagues let you start a second quarterback, which makes every starting quarterback far more valuable.
- For keeper and dynasty leagues, use the dynasty trade calculator, which includes rookie picks for the next two drafts.
- For leagues with a second quarterback spot, use the superflex trade calculator.
- To see how scoring changes values, read PPR vs standard trade values.

Where the numbers come from
Projections come from Sleeper's public API, the same data the Sleeper app uses. We pull fresh projections every six hours while the season runs, rebuild every value table, and keep the last good set if a download fails. The line under the analyzer tells you when the current values were built.
Values are estimates, not facts. Projections miss breakouts and injuries, and your league's roster sizes may differ from our 12-team default. The complete method, with every number we use, is on how trade values work.
Before you send the offer
- Check your lineup, not just the totals. A trade that loses 3 percent of value can still help if it fills your weakest starting spot.
- Look at bye weeks and injuries. The tag next to a name shows a player's injury status. Long absences pull his projection down, but timelines change fast, so check the news first.
- Mind the playoff weeks. If you are already safe for the playoffs, players with good matchups in weeks 15 to 17 matter more than their season-long value.
