We have been working tirelessly on this on the back end of things, and I am truly excited to reveal the trade chart that will assist you in finding that trade in your dynasty leagues that will help put you over the top of your competition. I cannot describe how much fun it has been to work on this with the goal of helping give you a leg up on the competition in your leagues. This is an ongoing project, though, that will never have an end, as well. As situations for players around the NFL change quickly, so will their values on this chart. Don’t be surprised when your player jumps up the board in the value, making them a good target to sell at the opportune moment, or someone falls that might signal a good time to buy.

In the meantime, we will be discussing different players in the trade chart throughout the off-season and beyond. I will point out important moves that are happening around the league that are causing players to rise and fall. There will also be articles that will discuss favorite values of players for buying and some for which players you should be looking to sell. To kick things off, this installment is going to focus on explaining why we love the top players at each of the key positions to dynasty fantasy football. So, without any further stalling, here are the top players at each position in Razzball’s brand-spankin’ new trade chart!

Quarterback – Josh Allen (Value 100)

That’s right, the Brett Favre of this generation sits atop the peak of the dynasty trade chart with a value of 100, the max value for anyone. This trade chart is based on Superflex league expectations, which is why the quarterbacks are absolutely dominating the top of the chart. And is why Josh Allen is dominating all of them just as he is dominating your favorite league. Allen has consistently been a top, if not the top, quarterback in fantasy for the past five years. His worst finish was his rookie season, where he didn’t even play the full season, and he still finished as a low-end QB2.

Allen has finished as the number one quarterback three times during that period of time. Finishing as the number one in a position ever is impressive, but to have done it three times in four years? As I have said many times before, top-end consistency in a dynasty is king when it comes to the top players in the league. And there are none who are as consistent as Josh Allen is, which is why he is sitting at the top of my dynasty trade chart.

Running Back – Bijan Robinson (Value 74)

If you follow me on all of my platforms, you know that I’ve gone back and forth on this one between who I would rather have, Robinson or Gibbs. In a recent mock redraft of the 2023 draft class with Fantasy in Frames, I took Gibbs over Robinson at the 1.04. However, that was under the belief that Bill “King Running Back by Committee” Belichick was going to be the one taking over the coaching job in Atlanta. Since then, things have changed in the coaching world in Atlanta, and I am again very excited to see how the Falcons decide to use their generational running back.

Raheem Morris is a defensive-minded coach from the LA Rams, and he managed to snag the quarterback’s coach, Zac Robinson, to join him in Atlanta. Both of these hirings scream to me that good things are coming for Robinson. If they can have anything close to resembling the running game that the Rams have with Kyren Williams, Bijan is going to feast in the coming years in Atlanta. Even in the limited role that Bijan was in, he was still RB9 and averaged a respectable 4.56 yards per carry. Hopefully, the running back by committee (RBBC) approach has come to an end in Atlanta, and they will release Bijan to reach his full potential moving forward.

Wide Receiver – CeeDee Lamb (Value 82)

If you noticed in the chart, CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson are basically WR1a and WR1b. This is because both of them have incredible talent that I love watching every Sunday. Both are at the top of their game, but one has a better situation than the other. There are still a lot of questions about who will throw Jefferson the ball, and until those are figured out, Lamb has the edge. Lamb has been a top receiver the last couple of years now that he has solidified himself as the WR1 on the Dallas Cowboys’ offense. Even before that, when he was still just coming into the league and competing with Amari Cooper for snaps on the team, his lowest finish was as a low-end WR2.

Now, things have changed. Lamb is Him. He finished as WR1 this last season, and there was good reason for it. CeeDee broke 400 total points last season, an impressive barrier for anyone to break, and had the second most points overall in PPR leagues. He also averaged the second most points per game at an impressive 23 PPG in Weeks 1 through 17 this season. Lamb has shown that he has the ability to make things happen. To add to this, there were no changes in the coaching staff that should affect him. We know who his quarterback is going to be. All in all, he has that consistency that you want to make a push to repeat what he did this year. It will be interesting to see if he has competition in JJ this next season for that WR1 spot, though.

Tight End – Sam LaPorta (Value 51)

Tight ends are such a volatile group that it can be hard to put pen to paper on what you are expecting them to do. However, Sam LaPorta makes it easy. There were other tight ends that I thought about putting at the number one spot, but each were aging or dealing with crucial injuries. LaPorta offers youth and ability. He managed to finish at TE1 his rookie season and finished with the fourth most receiving yards a rookie tight end has put up. LaPorta also tied for the second most touchdowns a rookie tight end has received. As stated, tight ends are volatile, but to put up those kinds of numbers in his rookie year should mean there are good things on the horizon for the kid.

Another thing that LaPorta has going for him is the consistency at coaching and who is throwing him the ball, much like CeeDee Lamb. The Detroit Lions impressed the nation this season as they fought their way through a gauntlet to the NFC Championship, something that the team hadn’t accomplished in over thirty years. With that kind of impressive play, it is common to see teams get shaken up and lose parts of their coaching tree. However, the Lions’ culture is so strong right now that they were able to retain their coaching staff, specifically Ben Johnson, who had a huge impact on how well Jared Goff and Sam LaPorta played this season. I fully expect them to continue what they’ve already been doing and dominate the seam for big gains and touchdowns.
