2026 Fantasy Football Week 9 Trade Value Chart: Wide Receivers

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: WIDE RECEIVERS

Wide Receiver Riser – Michael Wilson (at DAL, 8 catches on 15 targets for 111 yards and a score)

The Jacoby Brissett era has gotten stale enough that Gardner Minshew didn’t just fill in for him, but is confirmed as the Week 9 starter as well. That seems to bode well for Wilson, who had struggled in recent weeks, much of which likely coincided with the trade away of Marvin Harrison Jr. How long can Minshew Mania last? Perhaps through the season, and certainly his trade value will now parallel that expectation.

Wide Receiver Faller – Zay Flowers (@ BUF, 0 catches on 5 targets)

Our featured riser just a week ago, Flowers lost Lamar Jackson indefinitely and likely Tyler Huntley to injury after playing the Bills, and could now be catching passes from undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who left the game with a couple of bruises. Despite the goose egg in Week 8, Flowers could still show himself as at least somewhat QB-proof enough to fill your FLEX or WR2 spot. It’s a tough break for a player who won’t garner enough on the trade market to trade away.

Other Receivers Of Interest – Parker Washington (vs IND, 1 catch on 2 targets for 16 yards)

Trevor Lawrence threw only 14 passes on a day he didn’t have to throw more against a Colts team in the midst of a fire sale. Washington’s underlying metrics are good, but his upcoming schedule doesn’t project to be games the Jags have to throw much either. In fantasy, we lean into late-season/fantasy playoff schedules to find an edge with players in prime spots to produce in the games that matter most. The Jaguars’ fantasy playoff opponents of the Texans, Cowboys, and Commanders present better offenses and higher-scoring game scripts than Jacksonville has over the next month, which means you might have to weather the fantasy storm with Parker’s production until then, but it will likely be more worth it than testing the trade market.

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.
