NFL Trade Value Chart — Week 5 2026 + Free Trade Calculator

Who this is for: For the manager staring at a trade offer at 11pm: is 2-for-1 fair? Chart both sides in points, see the net, and negotiate from a number instead of a vibe.

Week 5 2026 fantasy trade value chart: 60 players on a 0–99 editorial scale, four tiers, weekly trend arrows — plus a two-sided trade calculator that prices any 1-for-1 or 2-for-2 offer instantly.

Quick answer: A trade value chart prices every fantasy player on one 0–99 scale so any offer becomes arithmetic: sum both sides, read the net. This Week 5 2026 edition ranks 60 players in four tiers with weekly trend arrows, and the built-in calculator verdicts any 1-for-1 or 2-for-2 offer instantly — loaded example: Robinson + Brown 154 for Lamb + Harrison 158 = +4 buy-side lean.

Example loaded: You receive 4 more value than you give (+2.6%) — a buy-side win if the need fits.

Chart values are an editorial opinion for negotiation, not projections — two managers can disagree by 5+ points and both be right. The ±2% band is deliberately tight so the calculator stays a conversation starter. Pair it with the range simulator when a trade hinges on ceiling vs floor.

How a trade value chart works

A trade value chart converts every player to one number on a 0–99 scale so any offer becomes simple arithmetic: sum the values you send, sum the values you receive, and read the net. That sounds crude, and it is — deliberately. The chart is an editorial opinion updated weekly (this one after Week 5 of the 2026 season, on October 6, 2026), built for negotiation, not prophecy: Josh Allen tops it at 99, 11 players sit in the Elite 90+ tier, and every entry carries a Week 4-to-5 trend arrow so you can see which way the market is drifting.

The calculator on this page does the arithmetic for you: pick up to two players per side with quantities, and it prints both sides' totals, the net, a percentage lean, and a verdict — fair, buy-side, or sell-side — using a deliberately tight ±2% band. Worked example from the loaded default: Bijan Robinson + Chase Brown (154) for CeeDee Lamb + Marvin Harrison Jr. (158) nets +4 (+2.6%) — a buy-side lean by chart math, and exactly the kind of marginal call the band is designed to flag rather than hide.

Why a 0–99 scale instead of 'first-round picks'

Classic pick-value charts map players to draft capital, which works at the draft but wobbles in-season: a third-round keeper pick and a hot waiver add are not the same currency mid-year. A flat 0–99 scale keeps every comparison in one unit, and the tier bands (Elite 90+, Star 75–89, Solid 55–74, Flex 20–54) restore the fuzziness that honest trade talk needs. When both sides of a deal land in the same tier, the chart is telling you the trade is a preference call, not a math call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this trade value chart updated every week?

Yes — the chart re-prices weekly during the NFL season, and this edition is Week 5 of 2026 (updated October 6, 2026). Trend arrows compare the current week's editorial values to last week's, so you can see momentum, not just level. Mid-season weeks are where the chart moves most: byes, backfield splits and target shifts all show up as arrows before they show up as tier changes.

How is this different from Rotowire's trade value chart?

Rotowire's chart is one input in a paid subscription built around their projections and news feed. This chart is free and pairs with a real calculator — most published charts make you do the two-side arithmetic in your head. The honest trade-off is the same as everywhere on this site: you get the math and the method, not proprietary projections. Values are editorial opinion and clearly labeled as such.

What do the tiers mean?

Elite (90+) are players you only move for a king's ransom — 11 qualify this week. Star (75–89) are weekly difference-makers you build around. Solid (55–74) are the trade market's working middle, where most real deals live. Flex (20–54) are bench throws-in and upside lotto tickets. Tiers exist to stop false precision: a 78 and an 82 are the same conversation, a 92 and a 68 are not.

Why did my trade show 'fair' when it obviously isn't?

Because the chart prices production, not need or schedule. A 'fair' verdict means the arithmetic balances — if you are deep at RB and desperate at WR, a nominally fair RB-for-WR trade can still be right for you. The ±2% band is intentionally tight so the calculator flags marginal calls instead of pretending every trade has a knowable right answer. Check the trend arrows before you counter.

Can I value draft picks with this chart?

Not directly — this chart covers rostered players only. A common league convention maps early first-round picks to the Elite tier (~90+), mid-first to high Star, and later picks down from there. If your league mates use a different pick scale, convert both sides to one scale before comparing, or the net is meaningless.

Do values account for injuries and byes?

Editorial values lean on public reporting at update time, but this chart is not an injury wire — a player returning from injury can be mispriced for a week. That is a feature of honest weekly charts everywhere: the arrow shows the direction the market moved, and you bring the news. Never trade five minutes before kickoff on chart math alone.
