Since its launch fifteen years ago, CBS Sports' Fantasy Football Trade Chart has served as a cornerstone for managers seeking fair and informed trade decisions across their leagues.
New Scoring Dimensions and Valuation Methodology
For the 2026 campaign the chart expands its scope to include four‑point‑per‑pass touchdowns and half‑PPR formats, reflecting the evolving ways fantasy leagues award points. Values are no longer anchored in past performance; instead they are calculated from projected future output, upcoming schedules and the current sentiment of the fantasy community, ensuring that each player’s worth aligns with what lies ahead.
Managers are advised to subtract ten percent from a player's listed value when the opposite side of a trade contains three or more additional players, a rule designed to balance imbalances in roster composition. Moreover, certain athletes carry value only in specialized formats such as two‑quarterback or full‑PPR leagues, meaning they may be absent from standard one‑quarterback or non‑PPR rankings.
The chart also functions as a rest‑of‑season ranking guide, listing quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends across a variety of league settings, while players not featured are capped at a maximum four‑point valuation. For those seeking deeper projections, additional rest‑of‑season rankings are published on SportsLine.
