Is this the same as KeepTradeCut or FantasyPros trade value?

No. This is a transparent estimator built entirely from the numbers you enter: projected points, position, and risk. KeepTradeCut and FantasyPros use their own proprietary or crowd-sourced valuation models that are not public formulas, so this tool does not attempt to reproduce them. Use this when you want a value based on your own projections, not a platform's opinion.

How is the trade value score calculated?

Each player's projected points are multiplied by a position weight (running backs and wide receivers get a slight scarcity premium over quarterbacks and tight ends in most formats) and a risk multiplier (low risk keeps full value, medium and high risk apply a discount). The result is that player's trade value score. Scores are summed per side of the trade.

What counts as "risk" for a player?

Risk is your own judgment call, covering things like injury history, age decline, contract or role uncertainty, or a crowded backfield. Pick low, medium, or high for each player. It is a manual adjustment, not a stat the tool looks up.

Should I use weekly or rest-of-season projections?

Either works, as long as you use the same basis for every player in the trade. Mixing a weekly projection for one player with a rest-of-season projection for another will make the comparison meaningless.

Why do two players with the same points get different scores?

Position weight and risk adjustment both scale the raw points. A running back and a tight end with identical projected points can end up with different trade value scores because of the position weight difference, and a low-risk player will score higher than a high-risk player with the same projection.

Can I use this for dynasty leagues?

Yes, as long as your point projections reflect the time horizon your dynasty league cares about (for example, a full rebuild window). Enter a higher risk level for aging veterans or injury-prone players to reflect the added dynasty risk.

Summary

Fantasy football trade value is not one universal formula. Platforms like FantasyPros, KeepTradeCut, and ESPN each run their own proprietary or crowd-sourced charts, and none of them are public equations you can recompute yourself. This tool works differently: you enter each player's projected fantasy points, position, and an optional age or injury risk adjustment, and it computes a simple, clearly-labeled composite trade value score from those inputs. Add players to each side of the trade to see which side comes out ahead by the numbers you provided, not a black-box platform ranking.

How it works

Add each player involved in the trade to Side A or Side B.
For every player, enter projected fantasy points (weekly or rest-of-season), position, and a risk adjustment from low to high.
Each player's raw points are scaled by a position weight and a risk multiplier to produce an individual trade value score.
Player scores are summed per side to get a total trade value for Side A and Side B.
The tool shows the point gap and percentage difference between the two sides so you can judge fairness by your own inputs.

Use cases

Sanity-check a proposed trade using your own rest-of-season point projections instead of a third-party chart.
Compare a package of two or three players against one star player using consistent inputs on both sides.
Factor in injury risk or age concerns for a player without redoing the whole valuation by hand.
Explain to a league mate exactly why a trade looks even or lopsided, since every input is visible.
Test how sensitive a trade is to a projection change by adjusting one player's points and re-checking the gap.
Build a quick before/after comparison when negotiating counter-offers.
