This trade value chart probably looks different than other charts you’re used to seeing. Most other analysts take their rest of the season rankings, apply arbitrary numbers to each player based on rank order, and call it a day.
I used a value-based drafting Excel tool to create the initial pre-Week 1 values for this chart. Since then, I have made changes based on the results from the first three weeks, FantasyPros Rest of the Season ECR, The Wolf’s Rest of Season Rankings, and my expected fantasy points analysis (updated every Wednesday).

WEEK 12 TE RISERS, FALLERS, AND INJURY NOTES
I am writing this on Monday night and tried to take the following injuries into account, but stay tuned for updates throughout the week. Injury data is primarily sourced from The Fantasy Doctors and ProFootballDoc.
- Rookie sensation Pat Freiermuth scored yet another touchdown in Week 12 but likely suffered a concussion near the end of the game. Monitor his situation this week, but if he plays, he is a locked-in TE1 for the rest of the season with teammate Eric Ebron sidelined with a knee injury.
- Raiders tight end Darren Waller suffered an IT-band injury and is week-to-week. His value takes a hit, but he could be a good target for teams who can withstand his absence in the short term.
- We are far enough into the season that most single-game performances won’t change the rankings much, but risers this week include Rob Gronkowski, Mark Andrews, and Dalton Schultz. Fallers include George Kittle, Kyle Pitts, and Mike Gesicki.
