2025 Fantasy Football Week 7 Trade Value Chart

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 QBs of interest, and providing a refresher on optimal trade strategy. The trade value chart for each position is linked below.

Quarterback Riser

Patrick Mahomes has been playing like the top-tier fantasy QB we came to know and love after he first burst on the scene years ago. The last couple seasons he stopped being such a lock, but he’s been the QB1 this season. The lack of a powerful run game likely has a lot to do with it, as Isiah Pacheco hasn’t regained pre-injury form and no one has replaced that prowess. With 37 rushing yards a game and now four rushing scores through week 6, Mahomes is as much of a contributor in Kansas City’s rushing attack as any this year. And soon he’ll get Rashee Rice back, who could step in as the Chiefs’ WR1 and help cement Patty as a top-6 fantasy QB lock once again.

Jaxson Dart went up seven spots in our Rest Of Season Rankings into high-end QB2 territory after the Giants showed out in a win against the Eagles on Thursday night. With 30 carries and two rushing scores in his three starts, the question we must ask ourselves to this point is: do we think defenses can reel in that aspect of his game? Because the passing production isn’t enough to carry him yet, with only 169 yards and 1.3 TDs per game. If you picked him up off waivers and your QB depth is fine, he could be a nice throw-in to upgrade at another position. Or if you really want to get wild, trade your starter in a package and roll out Dart assuming his pass production will pick up, though I personally wouldn’t be ready to do that.

Quarterback Faller

Justin Herbert and Jared Goff have been fringe QB1s the last four weeks, presenting the dilemma that low-end QB1s do, in making it difficult for your team to come out on top of your league. Goff’s place isn’t surprising, considering his style of play as a pure pocket-passer, and Ben Johnson‘s departure as OC. Many were hoping Jim Harbaugh‘s arrival in Los Angeles would unlock another level in Herbert’s fantasy game, not just in real football, especially after word that OC Greg Roman envisioned him running more.

That talk paralleled the 16 carries he took in weeks 1 and 2, but not the only eight combined carries he’s had the last four weeks, even with the Chargers being currently down to Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal in their backfield. Herbert might be more tradeable than Goff right now on name alone, but everyone in your league probably considers them both unlikely potential league-winners.

Other Quarterbacks Of Interest

Daniel Jones got his fourth rushing score of the season, finishing as QB4 for the week (pre-MNF), QB6 on the year and continues to make a solid case for a career rebound. Every week that goes by has been another week going against the narrative that this is a fluky start that’s worth selling high on.

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; they just want to have fun with it, and somebody sending them insulting offers isn’t fun.
