How the Redraft Trade Calculator Works
In fantasy football redraft leagues, player values shift weekly based on performance, injuries, and upcoming schedules. This calculator uses a numerical value system (typically 0-100) to help you determine if a 2-for-1 or 3-2 trade is actually beneficial for your roster.
To use this tool effectively, assign values to your players based on current trade value charts or expert consensus rankings (ECR). A top-tier RB like Christian McCaffrey might be valued at 95, while a high-end WR2 might be valued at 45.
Understanding the "Consolidation Tax"
In redraft formats, the team getting the best individual player usually "wins" the trade, even if the total point values are equal. This is because you can only start a limited number of players. This calculator accounts for this by analyzing the gap between the total packages. If you are giving up three average players for one superstar, the total value you give should often be 10-15% higher than the superstar's individual value to account for the bench spots you've freed up.

Analysis
The 2-for-1
WR1 (Value: 75)
WR2 (40) + RB2 (40)
Fair. Team B pays a slight premium (80 total) to get the best player.
The Blockbuster
RB1 (90) + TE1 (60)
RB1 (85) + WR1 (70)
Balanced. Both teams swap elite assets to fill positional needs.
3 Tips for Winning Redraft Trades
Look for "Sell High" Candidates: If a bench player had two touchdowns on only three catches, their trade value is likely at its peak. Use the calculator to swap them for a struggling starter with high volume.
Check the Playoff Schedule: In redraft, weeks 14-17 are all that matter. A player with a high current value but a brutal playoff schedule is a prime candidate to be moved.
Solve Your Bench Logjam: If you have four startable wide receivers but can only play three, use this calculator to package two of them for a clear upgrade at a different position.
