CBS Sports fantasy analyst Dave Richard has released his updated Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart for Week 9, reflecting significant shifts in NFL backfields and the approaching November 10 trade deadline. The chart assigns point values to quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends across various league formats, serving as a guide for managers seeking fair trades.
Jets and Raiders Backfield Situations
The New York Jets' backfield remains unsettled. Braelon Allen has posted at least 18.6 PPR points in three of his last four games and at least 12.4 in each, showing three-down capability. However, Breece Hall handled over 60% of snaps and goal-line carries when both were healthy in Weeks 1-2, leaving the timeshare uncertain. In Las Vegas, Mike Washington Jr. has been the more effective runner all season but only received extended opportunity in Week 8. Ashton Jeanty, while less effective as a runner, has thrived as a pass-catcher and retains a higher chart value due to his role fit and the Raiders' upcoming schedule.
Trade Deadline Impact
With the NFL trade deadline set for November 10, potential blockbuster deals could alter backfields, receiving corps, and starting quarterbacks. Richard notes the Trade Chart will be updated following any major swaps. The chart, originally created over fifteen seasons ago, now includes values for four-point-per-pass-touchdown leagues and half-PPR formats.
Chart Methodology
Values represent a long-term measurement of fantasy value based on expected future performance, future schedules, and public sentiment, with past performance not a major factor. Managers should deduct 10% of the value from any trade where one side includes two or more players than the other. Players not listed on the chart are considered worth no more than four points. The list also functions as a rest-of-season ranking for the 2026 campaign.
Key Player Values
Notable quarterback values include Josh Allen (21 in 1QB-4, 46 in 2QB), Joe Burrow (17, 40), and Drake Maye (16, 36). Top running backs: Jahmyr Gibbs (55 non-PPR, 58 PPR), Kenneth Walker III (50, 53), and Bijan Robinson (44, 47). Leading wide receivers: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (49, 53), Puka Nacua (48, 53), and CeeDee Lamb (40, 45). At tight end, Brock Bowers leads at 22 non-PPR and 26 PPR, followed by Trey McBride (16, 20) and George Kittle (14, 17).
