2025 Fantasy Football Week 13 Trade Value Chart: Tight Ends

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

FANTASY FOOTBALL WEEK 13 TRADE VALUE CHART: TIGHT ENDS

Tight End Riser – Juwan Johnson (6-of-7 targets, 46 yards)

Johnson saw his highest snap share since week 5 (78-percent) and heads into the fantasy playoffs a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option. Not the feel-good story we saw with him at the beginning of the season, but worth a spot on the end of your bench. Unfortunately, there’s no big secrets for targets to sell or acquire at TE before most fantasy trade deadlines hit.

Tight End Faller – Harold Fannin Jr. (4-of-6 targets, 40 yards, 1 carry, 4 yards)

Despite leading the Browns this season in receiving yards, his production has never panned out to significant fantasy output. The only thing that could turn that around this season is if Shedeur Sanders can unlock another gear for this offense. So far through one start, Shedeur managed to be the first QB since 1995 to win in their first start for Cleveland, but stat-wise, that only amounted to 209 yards passing and one TD. Maybe another gear gets unlocked, and Fannin is a good last-minute buy-low candidate. Just be sure you’re happy with the risk if pursuing that avenue.

Other Tight Ends Of Interest – Theo Johnson (3-of-5 targets, 77 yards)

Theo enters week 13 in TE1 territory in our Rest Of Season Rankings. At TE12 no less, but still, it highlights an all-too-familiar spot that the TE position as a whole finds itself in fantasy. Whether it’s Jaxson Dart or Jameis Winston behind center, Theo finds himself on the field for the vast majority of snaps, a very consistent floor of production, but no clear signs he’ll see the next level with any reliability this season. But as a rookie, that could change at any point. We saw it with Oronde Gadsden earlier this year, getting the offense down better week-to-week to the point where one week it blossomed into fantasy headlines, and any buy-low opportunities were crushed. Two different players for sure, but as a fringe TE1 in a position with not many options, many leagues have one week to decide if he’s worth pursuing in case a late-season come-up is still in his realm.

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.
