2026 Fantasy Football Week 9 Trade Value Chart: Tight Ends

The 2026 Fantasy Football Week 9 Trade Value Chart is built from The Wolf’s Rest of Season 2026 Fantasy Football Rankings, which ranked 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 9 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 9 TRADE VALUE CHART: TIGHT ENDS

Tight End Riser – Harold Fannin Jr. (@ PIT, 10 catches on 12 targets for 154 yards)

Fannin followed up a 9-target day the week before to re-enter the top-12 conversation at the position in fantasy. Between him, Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and a bit of Jerry Jeudy, the Browns’ receiving options have been taking turns as the main producer in a given week. Some volatility is hard to avoid at tight end, but hopefully this means Fannin’s connection with Deshaun Watson is in a place where he’s moved out of the streamer tier, especially given his underlying ability to get open.

Tight End Faller – Dallas Goedert (@ WAS, 4 catches on 4 targets for 30 yards)

With an already questionable rest-of-season outlook, Goedert put up mediocre numbers against a Commanders defense that had been susceptible to tight ends. The Eagles offense has sputtered all season, no matter the personnel; Goedert may struggle to be a top-12 Tight end option for the rest of the year and doesn’t look like a current buy-low candidate.

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.
