Dave Richard's Fantasy football trade value chart for Week 8 - CBS Sports

CBS Sports’ Dave Richard’s Week 8 Fantasy football trade value chart is aimed at helping managers strike fair deals using point assignments for players. The piece frames the league moment as a midpoint reality check, noting that contenders are usually defined by losses, with those between three and five losses more in a “win-now” mindset and those with two o fewer losses more focused on a long championship run. It explains that the trade chart has been used for more than 15 seasons, now expanded across formats including four-point-per-pass TD and half-PPR leagues. Values are based on expected future production, schedules and public sentiment, not past performance, and it includes a 10% penalty when one side offers two or more players than the other.
