Fantasy Football Week 4: Top 100 Players' Updated Trade Value and Advice

One week can be a fluke, two weeks might be a fad, but three weeks is a trend. When it comes to evaluating an NFL player's fantasy value, it normally takes around three weeks to determine what is real vs. what is just noise. 

That means if players are trending upward after three straight weeks of strong performances, well, it's time to take notice. But if star players have posted three straight weeks of poor performances, that deserves your attention as well. 

These are all factors taken into consideration when composing the weekly fantasy trade value chart. As you start considering trades to improve your team, the trade chart should help you consider the relative value of the players in the deal. 

Happy trading, and as always, may the fantasy points be with you!

One of the players who could really see his fantasy value shoot way up after a huge Week 3 performance is Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who caught seven passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. 

Jefferson is the No. 2 option behind Adam Thielen and the team's deep threat, reprising the role formerly held by Stefon Diggs, who now earns his paychecks in Buffalo. 

He'll be a waiver-wire darling this week, but with the very real chance he'll be fantasy relevant throughout the year, it's never too early to consider what his price on the trade market might be. If you snag him, you might be able to sell high, especially if he posts big numbers yet again. Rookie wideouts are notoriously volatile from a fantasy value perspective. 

Generally, though, it's wise to see how a rookie's production stabilizes. Maybe you just added a WR2 to your team. Probably not, but unless you are really getting blown away with offers, Jefferson is a player worth holding on to going forward. And if you are trying to trade for him, chances are the price will be too high after his breakthrough performance. 

Fantasy players who have Kenyan Drake are entering panic mode after three so-so performances. Ignore the urge to sell—you won't get value. Instead, focus on the positives. He has gotten at least 16 carries in every game and has rushed for at least 60 yards in each game. The Cardinals have a good offense—the touchdowns will come. 

Don't panic and sell Drake. You're better served riding out the rough patch. 

You might be tempted to sell Josh Allen high if you have the Buffalo Bills quarterback. Resist the urge—he's legitimately good and has a real talent at wideout in Diggs. Allen has been sneakily good in fantasy in his career anyway, given his rushing ability. Now that he's putting it all together in the passing game, he's become a legitimate fantasy stud. 

A player you might consider selling high on is Jared Goff, however. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback has fared well for fantasy players in the past, but he can run hot and cold. It's possible if you have quarterback depth you could leverage his two hot weeks into a trade to help address other positions of need. 

He'll likely hover around the low end of the QB1 ranks this year. The Rams offense is good and he has playmakers, but chances are you drafted him to be your backup. Now's as good a time as any to dangle him for an upgrade at running back or wide receiver.
