2025 Fantasy Football Week 10 Trade Value Chart: Running Backs

Fantasy Football Championships are won with trades.

These fantasy football trade value charts are based on 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 backs of interest, and providing a refresher on optimal trade strategy. The trade value chart for each position is linked below.

QB | RB | WR | TE

FANTASY FOOTBALL WEEK 10 TRADE VALUE CHART: RUNNING BACKS

Running Back Risers – Rico Dowdle (25 carries, 130 yards, 2 TD, 2-of-3 targets, 11 yards)

Dave Canales hinted that they were letting Chuba Hubbard shoot his shot last week after returning from injury to reclaim his top spot, but that the better RB would ultimately see more work.

That turned out to be more than coachspeak after not only did Rowdle best Hubbard in weeks 8 and 9 in production, but week 9’s opportunity distribution paralleled that production, unlike week 8. Now, it seems like Dowdle has separated himself as the Panthers’ top RB option, and for the second week in a row, the gap in production wasn’t particularly close.

Running Back Fallers – Chuba Hubbard (5 carries, 17 yards, 0-of-1 targets)

Maybe lingering injury could be affecting Hubbard, but he has not looked at all like the RB we saw last year. His yards-per-carry has dropped from 4.8 last year to 3.6, not the kind of numbers that could help lead to a finish last season when he finished as the RB15.

Other Running Backs Of Interest – TreVeyon Henderson (14 carries, 55 yards, 4-of-6 targets, 32 yards)

While Henderson’s 10-carry, 75-yard performance in Week 8 gave fantasy managers hope that he could shine again against the Falcons, Henderson ultimately looked like the same promising rookie: flashes of talent, but still not quite ready to seize full control of the backfield. It was a solid outing, but not one that truly set him apart yet.

Trade Strategy Reminders

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

In general, trade offers that clearly benefit both teams’ overall value, not just your own, will make a trade partner more cooperative. However, being mindful of depth concerns with all teams involved in 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, maybe 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.
