2025 Fantasy Football Week 7 Trade Value Chart: Tight Ends

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

Tight End Riser

Dallas Goedert‘s 13.3 half-PPR points-per-game is only behind Darren Waller‘s 13.6 for the most average fantasy points per game for tight ends, shooting him up seven spots in our Rest Of Season tight end rankings after nine catches for 110 yards and a score against the Giants in week 6. It’s his fifth touchdown of the year and gives him 20 targets just in the last two weeks. This has been coinciding with struggling production from Eagles wide receivers AJ Brown and Devonta Smith, maybe defenses have found ways to slow those two down. In which case, Goedert has plenty more looks his way ahead.

Tight End Faller

After blowing up for eight catches for 90 yards and two scores in week 3, the Law Of Averages has appeared to apply to Hunter Henry, as he’s only caught seven-of-nine targets for 112 yards and one score the previous three weeks combined. Henry’s never quite broken into game-changing tight end territory, and week 3 may have been the best chance to sell-high on him, and he’s in danger of becoming a streaming-only option.

Other Tight Ends Of Interest

Oronde Gadsden II had his best outing of his rookie season, catching 7-of-8 targets for 68 yards in week 6, and has now surpassed Tyler Conklin as the tight end with the most snaps on the Chargers. It was a season-high 75-percent snap share for him, and he could enter the conversation for starting consideration in fantasy if his arrow continues pointing up this way.

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.
