How to use the trade analyzer

It takes about ten seconds. Set your league, add the players, read the verdict.

  1. 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.
  2. Add both sides. Type a name, team or position under "You give" and "You get". Add as many players as the trade has.
  3. 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.

5 percent or lessFair tradeSend it. Most fair offers get a real look.

More than 15 percentClear winExpect 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How does a fantasy trade analyzer work?
It gives every player a value on one scale, adds up what each side gets and compares the totals. Ours rates players by how many points they should score for the rest of the season above a player you could pick up for free, so the numbers mean something in your lineup.
Where do the player values come from?
Football values come from Sleeper's public weekly projections and, for dynasty, Sleeper's dynasty draft data. Basketball values use Sleeper's per-game projections and baseball values use MLB season stats. We turn those into values with a method you can read in full on how trade values work.
How often are trade values updated?
Football values refresh every six hours during the season, and basketball and baseball values once a day. The date under the tool shows exactly when the values you are looking at were built.
Why does one great player beat two good ones?
Because you can only start so many players. Two decent receivers do not help you if only one of them makes your lineup, so the analyzer gives bigger values extra weight before it adds them up. A 4,000 and a 4,000 come out well short of one 8,000.
What counts as a fair trade?
We call a trade fair when the two sides are within 5 percent of each other. Between 5 and 15 percent one side has a slight edge, and past 15 percent it is a clear win. Fair is the right goal in most leagues, because lopsided offers rarely get accepted.
Does the analyzer work for PPR and superflex leagues?
Yes. Switch the scoring between PPR, half PPR and standard, and switch between one quarterback and superflex. Each combination has its own value table, built from the same projections with that league's scoring and lineup.
Can I value draft picks in a dynasty trade?
Yes. Switch the league to dynasty and search for a pick such as "2027 1st" or "early 2nd". A pick is worth what the rookies at that spot are worth today. The dynasty trade calculator explains it in detail.
Should I accept a trade just because the analyzer says I win?
No. The analyzer tells you how the values compare, but your roster matters too. If you are thin at running back, a trade that loses a little value can still win you more games. Use the verdict as a starting point, then check your lineup.
