2025 Fantasy Football Week 6 Trade Value Chart: Wide Receivers

Fantasy Football Championships are won with trades.

Here, I continue a series previously captained by RSJ’s MOH in 2023 and 2024, and Jackson Barrett before him. In my version, I’ll be basing these trade value charts off The Wolf’s Rest Of Season Rankings, who finished 2nd of 172 experts in FantasyPros’ Multi-Year Draft Rankings. These charts adjust values to account for positional need, assigning values based on a 1QB, 12-team, full PPR league, where quarterbacks are generally harder to trade due to a lack of positional need, unlike in Superflex leagues.

Each week throughout the season, these values will be altered to reflect the player’s value for the rest of the season. Be sure to tune back each week throughout the season. We’ll be adjusting the chart, discussing risers & fallers, and other WRs of interest, and providing a refresher on optimal trade strategy.

The trade value chart for each position is linked below.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Trade Value Chart: Wide Receivers

Wide Receiver Risers

Stefon Diggs jumped 23 spots in our rankings after putting up 146 yards on 10-of-12 targets versus the Bills. Revenge may have had something to do with that statline, but it followed up his first 100-yard outing in week 4.

An interesting note to remember is that Diggs did this on only a 50-percent snap share, which could point to volatile weeks ahead. The Patriots’ lack of a previously locked-in WR1, however, keeps the door open to Diggs’ chemistry with Drake Maye continuing to grow and keep his production more consistent.

Wide Receiver Fallers

Jameson Williams falls seven spots and out of the WR3 range for the first time after only going 1-of-1 for nine yards in week 5. As a player, and in an offense like the Lions, Jameson was always set up to have down weeks, even with his ceiling, but this year, he hasn’t had more than two catches since week 1. His only week with more than 5.3 half-PPR points was week 2, a two-catch, 108-yard game with a TD, where even that type of production isn’t the kind that’s reliable in fantasy. There isn’t an apparent reason to trade for him, or to think that any of your league mates would either.

Other Wide Receivers Of Interest

Funny how often a bad streak (or a good one) can be broken just because someone outwardly acknowledges it:

That was just before the Bengals offense found a way to kick into high gear and Ja’Marr Chase ended up with 6 catches for 110 yards and two scores.

Could Chase be back? Maybe, but it’s important to remember the context of how his 2023 time went while Jake Browning was the signal-caller. It wasn’t all sludging through the mud like 2025 had been up until the offense finally found a spark midway through week 5’s game against the Lions. In fact, 2023 was all over the spectrum, a lot like 2025 is starting to look like.

In week 12 of 2023, Chase went 11/149/1 on 12 targets with Browning at the helm. He wouldn’t reach close to that line the rest of the season, including going 3/29/0 on targets that next week. Play him with just as much caution as you did this past week, or, consider this a sell-high moment.

It was right place, right time for Kendrick Bourne whose 10 catches for 142 yards against the Rams last Thursday night confirmed once again that no matter where Mac Jones plays, the man can pepper his WR1s. How will that shake out with this ever-changing injury-riddled 49ers WR room? Who knows, but with Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall possibly returning in week 6, along with Brandon Aiyuk‘s looming return, this could end up being Bourne’s only fantasy-viable week.

Trade Strategy Reminders

Aim To Fill Holes On Your Roster, And Your Trade Partner’s

In general, trade offers that clearly help both teams’ overall value, not just your own, will make a trade partner more cooperative, but being mindful of depth concerns with all teams involved with a trade will only increase the chance of that cooperation. Be mindful not just of weak positional depth, but a surplus of positional depth, with all your league’s rosters. You might have a shortlist of players you’d love to be able to trade for, but if what you have to offer isn’t what your trade partner needs, your offers will likely fall on deaf ears. Say you’re weak at RB, and have a surplus at WR. Teams that are strong at RB, but weak at WR, are naturally more eager to haggle.

Never Mention The Words “But The Trade Calculator Says”

Charts and calculators are a reference that can help find ideal trades, but they’re not gospel, and trying to make your potential trade partner think otherwise could shut the door on negotiations real quick. Even if your charts/calculators show the trade offer to be in your league mate’s favor, they probably have tools and references of their own, and the next time “But the trade calculator says” changes someone’s mind, may be the first time.

Be Careful How Low-Ball Your Offers Are

Speaking of bad faith, a trade offer that is too clearly in your favor puts you in danger of potential trade partners shutting you out not just for that particular trade negotiation, but any future ones as well. It’s a great feeling to get those kinds of lopsided trade deals, but the ones that are so bad they only go through 1 percent of the time likely aren’t worth hitting the send button to begin with. At their core, fantasy players aren’t complete masochists just want to have fun with it, and somebody sending them insulting offers isn’t fun.
