Every value is a market value: what managers pay in completed trades. We watch a fixed panel of Sleeper dynasty leagues, superflex and 1QB in proportion. Superflex values include tight-end-premium leagues; 1QB values leave them out. IDP and best-ball leagues are excluded, and only two-team trades without FAAB are used.
The current Superflex values are based on 127,438 trades in 8,929 leagues, as of Nov 9, 2026.
The current 1QB values are based on 38,243 trades in 3,270 leagues, as of Nov 9, 2026.
We treat each trade as a statement that both sides were worth about the same to the two managers who made it. The values are the set of numbers that makes the most real trades balance.
We compare the two sides as a ratio, not a difference. That way a trade of two big pieces and a trade of two small pieces count equally, and a few huge trades cannot drown out everything else. Lopsided outliers, such as a gift or a one-sided dump, are down-weighted so they do not drag the numbers around.
A trade's weight halves as it ages. Each format has its own half-life: Superflex, 7 days; 1QB, 14 days. When trading slows, for example after trade deadlines, the window lengthens automatically so the values still rest on enough trades.
Players who rarely change hands are pulled toward their dynasty startup draft position, so a thin market does not produce a wild number. Any value with fewer than 10 trades in the last 30 days is marked † on the chart and "few trades" on player pages and in the calculator: treat those values with caution.
Each player page shows a trade count, so you can see what a value rests on. A page needs at least 10 trades in the last 30 days to be listed in search results.
Values are refreshed weekly in season, and every value shows the date it is "as of".
A value's trend is its change over the last few weeks (2 weeks in Superflex, 4 weeks in 1QB). Trends are measured against the market as a whole, so a player whose value holds steady while the market rises shows a small decline.
Before a refresh goes live, we check it against the most recent two weeks of real trades it has not seen. If it does not tell real trades from shuffled ones well enough, the previous values stay up.
Values come from what managers actually pay, and a side of a trade is worth the sum of its pieces. Because each value is priced from real trades, stars sit far above role players and late picks, so stacking small pieces rarely adds up to a star. In real Superflex trades, Jaxon Smith-Njigba goes for about 3.6 times a 2027 1st. In real 1QB trades, Jahmyr Gibbs goes for about 4.2 times a 2027 1st.
Some calculators add a bonus to the side that gets the best player in a consolidation trade. We do not. We tested a depth discount against real trades, and it fitted no better than plain addition. Stars already cost far more than role players, so a side is worth the sum of its pieces.
The calculator compares the two sides as a gap: the bigger side over the smaller, minus 1. The verdict follows the gap:
Fair does not mean equal. Real trades are rarely dead even, so these bands are set from the gaps in real trades.
These values are not a projection of future points, not a crowd vote, and not an average of other sites. They are a record of what real managers paid.
