2026 Fantasy Football Week 4 Trade Value Chart

The 2026 Fantasy Football Week 4 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 4 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 4 TRADE VALUE CHART: QUARTERBACKS

Quarterback Riser – Tyler Shough (vs LV, 29/42 for 255 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT, 1 carry for 36 yards)

Three weeks in, the Saints’ defense is allowing 27.7 points per game. Couple that with an uninspiring rushing attack, and the Saints’ wins have to come largely on Shough’s shoulders; although the Saints are 1-2, Shough has delivered enough production to make him the QB3 in fantasy so far. It’s risky to value him that high when it’s so situation-dependent, but it’ll be harder to keep his value down in our Rest of Season Rankings and among fantasy managers in general as long as this continues. People who drafted him likely did so as their QB2, and if you’re struggling at QB and believe he could be the fix, he may still be acquirable in a trade at a reasonable cost.

If that’s the boat you’re in, consider a minor player downgrade at your deepest position to offer your league mate as a player swap, while swapping Shough for your struggling QB. Or, if you have a starter-worthy bench player at a non-QB position who fills their starting lineup, your starting lineup may not have to suffer at all in order to upgrade to Shough.

Quarterback Faller – Drake Maye (at JAX, 14/25 for 199 yards, 2 INTs, 4 carries for 18 yards)

Against the Seahawks in Week 1, with AJ Brown knocked out by injury mid-game, it was understandable that Drake Maye could struggle there. But against the Jaguars defense, he should have had more success even without his top wide receiver back, if his preseason hype was to match his in-season output.

This game further fuels concerns that his 2025 success had a lot to do with an easy strength of schedule. AJ Brown was projected to elevate the WR room, but Maye’s success last year wasn’t thought to depend on a strong WR corps, which is part of why he was touted as a top QB for ’26. So without the injury to Brown to blame for his struggles, we may be seeing a reality check in action, keeping his trade value down and making him an unideal buy-low.

Other Quarterbacks Of Interest – Jordan Love (vs ATL 28/53 for 312 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT)

Love’s odds for a top-12 fantasy season were already slim because of the Packers’ conservative offensive style, but even with 53 pass attempts vs. the Falcons, a top-12 fantasy season seems completely out of the question with a historically bad offensive line to work with. It’s amazing he can even get these throws out when you watch tape, and a terrible offensive line can ruin fantasy days, much like it’s neutering the running game right now. If, IF, the O-Line can get it together enough not to make every play instantly look like impending doom, the passing game’s efficiency could be the first to grow, while the running game has to show it exists before we can talk about its fantasy relevance.

A defense that’s been struggling while waiting for Micah Parsons’ return will continue to result in negative scripts and more passing (though I don’t know about another 53 like last Thursday). If the O-Line can actually compare with the worst in the NFL, rather than being on an island of their own completely, Love’s efficiency may go up enough, with the existing high-volume, for him to flirt with top-12 fantasy numbers as at least useful part of a trade package in fantasy.

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.
