2026 Fantasy Football Week 2 Trade Value Chart: Wide Receivers

The 2026 Fantasy Football Week 2 Trade Value Chart is built from The Wolf’s Rest of Season 2026 Fantasy Football Rankings, which finished 2nd out of 172 experts in FantasyPros’ Multi-Year Draft Accuracy rankings from 2022 to 2024. These values are tailored to a 12-team, full-PPR, 1QB league and factor in positional scarcity and real-world trade dynamics. That means quarterbacks typically carry less trade value than they would in Superflex formats, while elite running backs and wide receivers remain premium assets.

Whether you’re trying to buy low, sell high, or pull off a league-winning blockbuster, this Fantasy Football Week 1 Trade Value Chart is designed to help you make smarter deals. We’ll update player values every week based on rest-of-season outlooks, highlight the biggest risers and fallers, break down key trade targets, and share trade strategy tips to help you stay ahead of your league mates. Use the position-specific charts below to find fair trade offers and gain an edge throughout the 2026 fantasy football season.

FANTASY FOOTBALL WEEK 2 TRADE VALUE CHART: WIDE RECEIVERS

Wide Receiver Riser – Deebo Samuel (“at” LAR, 6 catches on 7 targets, 48 yards and 1 TD)

When he signed back with the 49ers as a late-offseason addition, plenty of good reunion vibes spread across NFL fandom, but there was hesitation about whether it would translate into fantasy production for the now 30-year-old receiver in this iteration of the Niners’ wide receiver room.

If Ricky Pearsall were still healthy, I don’t know that Samuel would be a Niner. But he helped quell those concerns on Thursday as an integral part of the offense, and health permitting (as is for any 49ers player), it looks like he could put up a WR3 fantasy season, making him trade-viable as a depth piece if you need it, or begin the season with a surplus and can afford to lose a bit of it.

Wide Receiver Faller – Davante Adams (“vs” SF, 3 catches on 6 targets, 26 yards)

Every player hits an age cliff, and mastering the art of guessing when that happens can give you a considerable fantasy edge. I’m personally betting that Davante Adams just had a bad week, albeit luck, offensive scheme that day, whatever, and that week 1 isn’t an indictment on the rest of the season. But maybe your league mate who drafted Adams fears the age cliff enough to make him a buy-low trade candidate before week 2.

Other Wide Receivers Of Interest – Jalen Coker (vs CHI, 8 catches on 9 targets, 138 yards and 2TDs)

Maybe Jalen Coker is on pace for 136 catches on 153 targets for 2,346 yards and 34 touchdowns. Or, maybe he just had his best game of the season, and perhaps the Bears secondary is one that can be picked on this season. A clear sell-high candidate heading into Week 2, the question we have to answer is what his actual rest-of-season value should be.

We still shouldn’t be assuming he’s taking the alpha-WR reins from Tet McMillan in Carolina, but the third-year receiver who came into the league as an undrafted free agent is starting the season making a case that he could flirt with fantasy WR2 territory, considering he= and Tet are the two clear best receiving options on the Panthers, and that maybe a tenure similar to when Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen (another UDFA) were together on the Vikings isn’t out of the question.

Fantasy Football Trade Strategy Tips

Trade for Team Needs, Not Just the Best Value

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 also of surplus positional depth across 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.

Why Trade Calculators Aren’t the Final Word

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.

How to Avoid Low-Ball Trade Offers

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 so bad they only go through 1 percent of the time likely aren’t worth hitting the send button in the first place. 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.
