2025 Fantasy Football Week 7 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.

Wide Receiver Risers

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has his first week atop our WR Rest Of Season Rankings, having only been trailing Puka Nacua in fantasy points, which is sure to change now that Nacua is dealing with an ankle sprain. Sam Darnold was no problem for Justin Jefferson‘s value last season in Minnesota, and this season, Darnold is peppering him with 9.3 targets-per-game, and he his most productive outing yet, with 162 yards and a score on eight catches versus Jaguars.

Wolf believes unc’s still got it, with Joe Flacco now in Cincy, and returned Ja’Marr Chase back into the realms of the elites in our Rest Of Season Rankings. Those who drafted Chase would certainly welcome that with open arms.

Wide Receiver Fallers

A couple injury fallers, Puka Nacua only drops to number 4 in our ROS WR rankings, while Emeka Egbuka, who was as high as fifth, drops to 16th, dealing with a hamstring injury. These could be good buy-low opportunities if you can spare some depth and make a deal with someone who may now be in a more desperate position for starters with Nacua or Egbuka out of their lineups.

Other Wide Receivers Of Interest

Joe Flacco to the Bengals may have restored faith in Ja’Marr Chase’s fantasy season, but what about Tee Higgins? He tied his season-high in targets with eight, and saw 62 scoreless yards on 5 catches against the Packers. Such a pedestrian line helps keep him low in our Rest Of Season Rankings for today, but it’s always been said that he could be another NFL team’s WR1, and that hasn’t changed overnight. One solid, re-emergent performance as early as this coming week against the Steelers, and he could be the top riser listed in our charts.

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.
