Fantasy Football Week 7: Examining Trade Value for This Year's Top 100 Players

Timothy RappOct 17, 2024

A lot happened in the NFL this week, altering the landscape of fantasy football. If ever there was a week likely to be full of trade activity in your fantasy league, it's this one.

To aid you in your efforts of maximizing value, we've yet again compiled the fantasy football trade value chart. Remember that the below values were calculated using PPR scoring in mind, so keep your league's scoring and roster format in mind (for instance, quarterbacks get a major bump in overall value in two-QB leagues).

These are the weeks that make or break fantasy seasons. As always, may the fantasy points be with you!

The Aftermath of the Davante Adams and Amari Cooper Trades

The most obvious winner here from a trade value perspective is Brock Bowers, who will be the main man in the Las Vegas passing game going forward. Chances are if you have Bowers you nabbed him in the later rounds, meaning you probably have another tight end you could trade.

Bowers makes a strong case, given his fantastic start and relative lack of competition for targets outside of Jakobi Meyers, to be the TE1 the rest of the way (though George Kittle is certainly having himself a year). If you have Bowers, don't trade him barring a mega offer. If you are trying to land Bowers, expect to pay huge prices.

Meyers would be a solid buy-low option, but savvy fantasy players are going to expect a bump in production. Plus, the shaky quarterback situation in Vegas makes him a flex option at best. Don't overpay to land him.

Adams gets an obvious boost to his trade value after being reunited with Aaron Rodgers, and at this point you aren't getting him for a bargain if you target him. Garrett Wilson shouldn't suffer either—he and Rodgers have found a better rhythm in the past two weeks—but there could be some fears that Adams' addition knocks Wilson down the pecking order. You could fish for buy-low trades there, though savvy fantasy players probably will wait to see how the target share shakes out.

Allen Lazard, on the other hand, might be a player worth selling high on. He has a fantastic rapport with Rodgers, yes, but Adams and Wilson are vastly superior talents. Somebody's fantasy impact is going to suffer after this trade, and Lazard should be the one losing targets.

In Buffalo, Amari Cooper gets an obvious bump in trade value going from the hapless Deshaun Watson to a superstar in Josh Allen, but every fantasy player around is going to expect that increase in production.

If anything, you might be able to sell a bit high on him—even in his best years, Cooper generally settles into the WR2 range. If you can get a fantasy player overreacting to his change in scenery and willing to pay WR1 prices, pounce on that deal.

The biggest beneficiary in Cleveland after Cooper's departure is probably tight end David Njoku, who likely will settle into the role of Watson's top option in the passing game. The volatility of Watson, however, still makes Njoku a tough player to trust.

Ditto for Jerry Jeudy, who is the de facto WR1 in Cleveland now. Don't get too excited about that fact. Cooper is a better player than Jeudy and was averaging just 10.2 fantasy points per week in PPR formats, ranking 36th at the position. Watson is the tide that sinks all ships.
