Quick Answer: Fantasy Trade Fairness Examples

Pre-computed trade evaluations using 2024–2025 rest-of-season PPG averages. Use the calculator above for live values:

Rule of thumb: trades with fairness ≥ 70% generally pass in standard redraft leagues; in dynasty leagues also weigh age, contract, and rookie pick value.

About this fantasy trade calculator

This fantasy trade calculator evaluates any NFL, NBA, or fantasy football trade by adding each side's projected points per game (PPG). The fairness score shows how close the trade is to a 1-for-1 swap — closer to 100% means even; closer to 0% means one side is giving up much more than they get back.

1

Enter both sides

Add every player on each side of the trade with their rest-of-season or full-season PPG from your fantasy platform (ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, NFL.com).

2

Sum and compare

The fantasy trade calculator totals PPG on each side and shows the value split. The fairness score (0–100%) tells you how close the deal is to a true 1-for-1 swap.

3

Adjust rosters

Try different combinations (1-for-1, 2-for-1, 3-for-1, package deals) by adding or removing players. The calculator updates instantly.

Fantasy football trade tips

  • Use rest-of-season (ROS) PPG, not season totals. ROS projections weight future games more heavily and account for injuries, bye weeks, and schedule strength.
  • Aim for a fairness score of 70%+. Trades under 50% fairness are usually veto bait in keeper and dynasty leagues.
  • Consider positional scarcity. A top-5 TE is worth more than a top-15 WR even if their raw PPG looks similar, because the TE pool is shallower.
  • Watch the bye weeks. Trading two starters who share a Week 7 bye for one starter with a different bye can save your season.
Fantasy Trade Calculator FAQ

How does this fantasy trade calculator work?

It sums projected points per game (PPG) on each side of the trade, then compares the totals to show which side wins and by how much. The fairness score (0–100%) tells you how close the deal is to a true 1-for-1 swap.

Where should I get the PPG numbers?

Use rest-of-season (ROS) projections from your fantasy platform (ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, NFL.com). For dynasty/keeper leagues, use multi-year projections because rookie contract value matters more than weekly output.

Does the calculator account for positional scarcity?

The raw PPG comparison does not. As a rule of thumb, top-5 players at TE, QB, and DEF carry a positional premium of 15–25% over PPG because the replacement pool is shallower. Add that premium manually before entering the numbers.

Can I evaluate 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 trades?

Yes — add as many players to each side as you want. Package deals (2-for-1, 3-for-1) often favor the side giving up fewer players because they can flex the best one into a starting slot.

What is a fair fantasy football trade?

In standard redraft leagues, any trade with a fairness score of 70%+ is generally accepted. In dynasty/keeper leagues, also weigh age, contract years, and rookie pick value before agreeing.
