- Dave Richard released his Week 4 Fantasy Football Trade Chart and rest-of-season rankings, a tool CBS Sports created more than fifteen seasons ago to help managers make fair trades and now expanded to four-point-per-pass TD and half-PPR leagues.
- Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season was marked by injuries that ravaged fantasy lineups, and Richard notes the waiver wire offers few promising options — particularly at running back — making trades the main path to improving rosters.
- Player values on the chart reflect expected future performance, future schedules, and public sentiment, with past performance explicitly not a major factor in the rankings.
- Fantasy managers should deduct 10% of total value from any trade where one side has two or more players than the other, and a handful of players carry value only in two-QB or full-PPR formats.
- Any player not listed on the chart should be considered worth no more than four points, per Richard's trading framework.
Why it matters: Fantasy managers hit by a Week 3 injury wave get a structured rest-of-season valuation tool rather than a reactive waiver-wire scramble, with a 10% penalty built in to keep lopsided multi-player deals in check.
