Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart: Week 5

Whether you're seeking the best fantasy football waiver wire additions or perfecting your weekly rankings, improving your fantasy teams should always be the goal.

Another way to get better, of course, is via the trade market.

The best trades are fair trades for both sides, but valuing players our own rosters can be tricky.

To help, each week, we'll be offering up our updated trade values to help you figure out whether or not you should send or accept a trade.

And I'm not talking about consensus rankings or my rankings. These values come straight from the models of numberFire's rest-of-season fantasy football projections.

So, keep in mind that these are entirely based on rest-of-season projections rather than gut feel or upside.

Players with defined roles can have more value than players who are waiting for their opportunity. The algorithms are here to remind us of that.

Final reminder: these aren't my rankings or values. They're math-based values from numberFire's projections system to help us make optimal decisions stemming from what is most likely to occur.

With all that said, here is how numberFire's algorithms value players for the rest of the season in a 12-team league.
