Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart Week 9

Each week throughout the season, these values will be altered to reflect the player’s value for the rest of the season. Changes made to player’s value will be based on FantasyPros Rest of Season ECR, results from the season thus far, and The Wolf’s Rest of Season Rankings. But for the most part, the below values should generally reflect consensus rankings. The values provided also allow for comparing player values across positions, not just within one positional group.

Be sure to tune back each week throughout the season. We’ll be adjusting the chart, discussing risers & fallers, and pinpointing trade targets.

Fantasy Football Week 9 Trade Value Chart: Quarterbacks

Quarterback Riser

It was an easy matchup, but Bo Nix flourished against the Panthers last week. Nix put up 29.8 fantasy points, enough for a QB2 finish on the week. This was Nix’s third top-10 performance in the last month.

As is the case for many quarterbacks these days, Nix’s fantasy appeal is driven by his ability to use his legs; he is averaging 6.3 points per game on the ground across his last six games. Nix has got it done both by finding the endzone and racking up yards. He has the size to act as a battering ram at the goal line and the quickness to scamper for lengthy rushes.

Nix’s early struggles as a passer are keeping him outside of weekly consideration as a fantasy starter. Week 8 was his first game with more than 250 passing yards, but his 284-yard performance came against a Carolina defense that ranks dead last in yards allowed per pass play.

Nix is very much a viable starter thanks to his production on the ground. But until he stabilizes as a passer, he’s only worth a start in plus matchups.

Quarterback Faller

Anyone who digs any deeper than simply looking at the box scores realizes that Caleb Williams’ turnaround in Weeks 5 & 6 was largely carried by the fact that he took on the Panthers and Jaguars, the two worst defenses in football.

In Week 7, Williams faced off with a Washington defense that had been playing at a high level for a month-plus. He predictably regressed, but fewer than 10 points was slightly shocking.

Williams averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt and struggled to deliver catchable passes.

Williams has shown the ability to extend and create plays that make him a very appealing quarterback, both in fantasy and real life. Until he works out the kinks with his accuracy, he isn’t much more than a fringe starter.

Quarterback Trade Target

At this point, it’s going to cost a pretty penny to acquire Jalen Hurts in a trade. But if you have the depth pieces to send a two-for-one offer and upgrade at quarterback, Hurts might be your guy.

The Tush Push is working flawlessly, the Eagles’ offense is firing on all cylinders, and Hurts has dismissed any concerns about his explosivity as a rusher. Hurts has now scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games and is the QB3 on a per-game basis.

The most appealing factor for Hurts is the Eagles’ upcoming schedule. It’s a total cakewalk and Hurts should keep the good times rolling.

Hurts shouldn’t have any issue putting on a show for the rest of the season. With this schedule, he could reasonably be the second-half fantasy MVP at quarterback.
