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

By the three-week mark of the fantasy football season, you likely have a pretty good idea of whether you have a good or bad squad. Consistent or streaky. Players who you can bank on, players who might be in line for a regression and players who had better improve for you to earn yourself a playoff berth. 

You will be aware of which players you should probably be patient with, and which players you might be ready to sell. You know which areas of your team need reinforcement. 

So, to help those of you ready to jump into the trade waters, I've compiled the weekly trade value chart to give you a general idea of how to value your players in trade talks. Obviously, your unique team needs and league format need to be taken into account, but this should give you a general reference point in deals. 

Players not listed have a value of one. And as always, may the fantasy points be with you!

Let's take a look a closer look at who you might be able to buy-low on this week. 

Kenny Golladay is a fascinating player worth keeping on your radar. His adjustment period in New York has been shaky, to say the least, and Sterling Shepard currently is ahead of him in receptions (18-11), targets (22-19), receiving yards (223-166) and touchdowns (1-0). 

But Golladay has been very productive throughout his career. While health has been a concern, he's averaged 3.8 receptions, 64.6 receiving yards and 0.42 touchdowns per game. That's roughly 12.8 fantasy points per contest in standard-scoring leagues. 

This season, the 27-year-old is averaging just 9.2 fantasy points per contest. Not terrible, but not worthy of starting at the moment, either. 

You'll have to decide if you think Golladay can make it work in New York, of course, before making a move for him via trade. He was caught on camera shouting unhappily on the sidelines in a Week 2 loss, though offensive coordinator Daniel Jones downplayed the situation: 

And if you think he can make it work, you'll be able to get him for a steal. Fantasy players can be an impatient bunch. You might be able to flip him for a player like Cordarrelle Patterson or Noah Fant and some accompanying riff-raff.

If Golladay ends up being a WR2, which he has the upside to be—and let's be honest, the Giants didn't sign him to a four-year, $72 million deal just to let him stew over a reduced workload—you're getting a steal at that price point. Struggling fantasy players desperate to upgrade their team may part with him for less. 

Now is the time to pounce. 

Hitting the window on a player's low point is vitally important when it comes to leverage. Last week, for instance, you might have been able to steal Clyde Edwards-Helaire for pennies on the dollar. But after he rushed 17 times for 100 yards and added a touchdown reception—fantasy production made all the more impressive by the fact that the Chiefs stuck with him after he lost his second fumble of the season—your window for buying low may have closed. 

But there's always a chance that fantasy players who drafted Edwards-Helaire to be a high-end RB2 are fed up after realizing he might not be anything more than a decent flex option at best this season.

Add in the fact that the 22-year-old hasn't been a major factor in the passing game—five catches for 38 yards and a touchdown is mediocre production through three games—and he's never going to be a 20-carry type of guy in Kansas City's pass-heavy offense, and you might still be able to get him pretty cheap. 

At this point, a Golladay for Edwards-Helaire swap would be pretty even from a value standpoint. But you may even be able to get him for players in the Courtland Sutton or D.J. Chark Jr. realm of value. 

And then there's Kyle Pitts, who many fantasy players were expecting to be the second coming of Tony Gonzalez the moment he hit the field. Instead, he is currently the TE15 and averaging a ho-hum 8.3 fantasy points per game. 

Smart fantasy players are going to remember he's just a rookie on an offense that has struggled to find its groove in general this season. They'll also expect the Falcons to find themselves trailing in most games, opening up the possibility of a lot of fourth-quarter passing and garbage-time stat-padding for players like Pitts and Calvin Ridley. And they'll take note of the fact that Pitts' 17 targets are tied for second on the team with running back Mike Davis. 

However, impetuous fantasy players might not take the bigger picture into account. They might feel burned they drafted him too high and will be looking to avoid the ol' sunk-cost fallacy. And you might be able to get a player who has huge potential, even this season, for players like Kirk Cousins or Antonio Brown. 

In keeper or dynasty leagues, he'll be untouchable, more than likely. But in redraft leagues, it might not hurt to kick the tires on Pitts and see if you can steal him for peanuts.
