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 13 RB 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.
- Eagles running back Miles Sanders re-injured his ankle in Week 13. Backup Kenneth Gainwell was productive and out-snapped Boston Scott 27 to 3, but based on previous usage, it would be hard to trust him even if Sanders misses time.
- Raiders backup Kenyan Drake is out for the season with an ankle injury. The injury allowed starter Josh Jacobs to play 50 of 59 snaps and catch a career-high nine passes. Jacobs looks like a solid option down the stretch.
- Jaguars running back James Robinson may still be playing through an ankle injury but was out-snapped by teammate Carlos Hyde. Robinson’s recent usage has been very concerning, and he is a clear faller this week.
- Rams running back Darrell Henderson was active only as an emergency option in Week 13. His quad should hopefully be healed for the fantasy playoffs. But a Week 14 start from Sony Michel is possible.
- Falcons running back Cordarelle Patterson has now played less than 50% of the snaps in three straight games. He may still not be fully recovered from his ankle injury, but this usage is not ideal for fantasy football.
- Patriots running back Damien Harris injured his hamstring. He briefly returned to the game before being ruled out with the injury. It’s unclear whether he re-injured it after returning. Due to the injury, I am ranking backup Rhamondre Stevenson over Harris. Harris is the better start when both are healthy, but neither sees enough volume. However, if Harris misses time, Stevenson has a chance to be a difference-maker in the fantasy playoffs.
