DLF’s July 1QB Dynasty Trade Value Chart

You probably know a few years ago, DLF created our very own Dynasty Trade Analyzer. While there are many trade tools on the market available to dynasty managers, ours is the only one to integrate expert rankings, regularly updated community dynasty ADP, and, perhaps most importantly, actual dynasty trades. We combine each of these data points to create a specific value for every dynasty-relevant player, which is updated daily.

What you might not know is that those values are available to each DLF subscriber. Hopefully, you are using the Trade Analyzer to aid you in deciding about each dynasty deal you are considering, but it can be easy to overlook an option at the top of that Trade Analyzer page.

While you’re pondering how much is too much to pay for the rights to the 1.01 rookie pick, take a look at the red box in the image above. Inside, you’ll find “Values.” All of the values. Every numerical value for every player and draft choice you care about in a dynasty league, available in both 1QB and superflex league formats, is updated every single day. I’ve had many dynasty managers and DLF subscribers tell me they did not know this was available, so I wanted to be sure we’re all on the same page before we continue.

Now that you’re all caught up, let’s get to it. While our values change daily, those are almost always small shifts, based on ADP or rankings updates or a massive trade in one of our tracked dynasty leagues. Of course, the real change is noticeable over a longer time. It is certainly interesting to track this value change over a period of weeks, months, or even years. That’s what I’ll be doing for you in this new series, on to the values.

Quarterback

Rank	Player	Team	Trade Value
QB1	Josh Allen	BUF	519.03
QB2	Patrick Mahomes	KC	443.04
QB3	Jalen Hurts	PHI	417.88
QB4	CJ Stroud	HOU	385.79
QB5	Lamar Jackson	BAL	369.42
QB6	Joe Burrow	CIN	298.95
QB7	Anthony Richardson	IND	295.99
QB8	Justin Herbert	LAC	277.18
QB9	Kyler Murray	ARI	257.34
QB10	Caleb Williams	CHI	254.85
QB11	Jordan Love	GB	230.85
QB12	Trevor Lawrence	JAX	228.52

• Bills’ superstar Josh Allen is once again the dynasty QB1 this month, but what is more notable is the widening gap between him and all other signal callers. Allen has finished as a weekly QB1 in a ridiculous 76% of his games over the past three seasons. For reference, QB2 Patrick Mahomes has hit that same mark 66% of the time.
  CJ Stroud and Lamar Jackson continue their monthly battle leading the second tier. Both quarterbacks continue to close the margin between themselves and Jalen Hurts, but it’s Stroud back at the QB4 spot this month.
• There’s a massive value gap following Jackson. I was surprised to see Bengals’ Joe Burrow maintain his standing as the QB6. I thought the whispers of long-term injury concerns for Burrow, along with uncertainty about Tee Higgins’ status following this season, could push him down the ranks.
• Dynasty managers are fully back on board with Colts second-year man Anthony Richardson. Despite missing the majority of last season with multiple injuries, Richardson’s upside is too much to ignore. He moved ahead of Justin Herbert this month and nearly matched Burrow’s value as well. Expect Richardson to overtake the Bengals’ star in July’s update.
• Another player on the rise among the top quarterbacks is Kyler Murray, who gained two spots, jumping ahead of Trevor Lawrence and rookie Caleb Williams. Murray is another player who just produces when he’s on the field. Since his bumpy rookie season in 2019, Murray has finished as a QB1 in 65% of his games, just shy of Mahomes’ mark. At QB9, Murray is among the better values in dynasty right now.
• The good news for Lawrence is he recently got a massive payday, making him the highest paid player in league history. He’ll only hold that title for a matter of time until the next quarterback contract goes down. Even with the confidence shown by the Jaguars and a reworked receiving corps, dynasty managers have shown a lack of confidence in Lawrence. Personally, I’d even want Brock Purdy, who is outside of the QB1 group, ahead of Lawrence.

RB23	Rhamondre Stevenson	NE	148.30
RB24	Joe Mixon	HOU	141.20

• Little has changed among the top-five dynasty running backs this month. Bijan Robinson continues to rock the RB1 crown and recent OTA reports suggest the Falcons will put him in a position to rack up fantasy numbers to sustain that title.
• Young backs Breece Hall and Jahmyr Gibbs once again flip-flopped positions as Hall regains the RB2 spot. The value gap between these two is almost non-existent.
• Veteran Christian McCaffrey is another player who recently got a new deal. I don’t see the pay raise impacting his dynasty value but it is a good reminder that McCaffrey is a complete unicorn and should be treated as such by dynasty managers. He’s breaking the modern mold for running backs over and over again. McCaffrey recently became the first 28-year-old running back to have a first-round dynasty ADP in the DLF ADP era, dating back to 2014.
• There have been concerns about Rams back Kyren Williams for a while now and it is finally starting to impact his value. Williams fell two spots since last month but held onto his spot among the top-ten dynasty backs. On top of mounting injury woes for Williams, the Rams added talented rookie Blake Corum. It is shocking to see rookie Jonathon Brooks, the RB11, still valued behind Williams.
• Speaking of Brooks, he was among the biggest risers of the past month, moving from RB15 to RB11. That rise comes despite suggesting from Panthers’ head coach Dave Canales that Brooks might not be ready to start training camp.
• Other running back risers over the past month include Isiah Pacheco, Trey Benson, and Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson is yet another veteran who recently agreed to a new deal. This one matters. Not only did the back get a much larger deal than most expected, but this is an important sign of confidence from the Patriots’ new coaching staff.

WR22	Tank Dell	HOU	498.08
WR23	Tee Higgins	CIN	495.25
WR24	Jordan Addison	MIN	470.36

• I’m not exactly sure what is causing this, but Eagles veteran AJ Brown has been experiencing a value loss since last month. He was overtaken as the WR5 by rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jets’ receiver Garrett Wilson nearly caught him as well. We could be hitting the off-season period in which older veterans see their value artificially attacked. If there is a discount on Brown, he should be among the top trade targets for contending dynasty teams.
• The third wide receiver tier begins with the second rookie, Malik Nabers. The Giants’ rookie continues to gain value and separate himself from the WR10, Chris Olave. Despite questions about Daniel Jones and the rest of the G-Men’s offense haven’t impacted Nabers’ value yet, his rookie-year production could be limited.
• Nico Collins recently got a massive new deal from the Texans and that commitment has helped push him up dynasty rankings. This month, Collins has overtaken DJ Moore and is now the WR18 based on our Trade Value Analyzer. Collins also kicks off a new tier as there is a nearly 70-point value gap between WR17 Michael Pittman and the Texans’ young pass catcher.
• Collins isn’t the only young receiver to get a new deal. Among the top 24, Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith also got paid, while Tee Higgins and the Bengals settled on a one-year agreement. That also all but assures Higgins will be with a new team in 2025. Finally, the 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk continue to be embattled in contract talks, which seem to be getting uglier by the day. It is far from a sure thing that Aiyuk is a 49er this season.

Tight End

Rank	Player	Team	Trade Value
TE1	Sam LaPorta	DET	621.55
TE2	Trey McBride	ARI	435.50
TE3	Mark Andrews	BAL	407.70
TE4	Dalton Kincaid	BUF	347.86
TE5	Brock Bowers	LV	333.24
TE6	Kyle Pitts	ATL	329.80
TE7	TJ Hockenson	MIN	286.82
TE8	Travis Kelce	KC	255.22
TE9	George Kittle	SF	185.22
TE10	David Njoku	CLE	151.02
TE11	Evan Engram	JAX	149.84
TE12	Dallas Goedert	PHI	117.56

• Lions second-year man Sam LaPorta continues to lap the field at the tight end position, being valued nearly 200 points ahead of TE2 Trey McBride. This large gap that we continue to see is sure to be narrowed, but probably not until the regular season begins.
• My favorite trade target of the off-season has been Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts. Recent news suggests Pitts will split time between the tight end and wide receiver roles, but he was already being treated as a wideout in previous seasons, so this is simply noise.
• Surprisingly, Pitts dropped to the TE6 spot this month, being overtaken by rookie Brock Bowers.
• Fellow class of 2017 tight ends Evan Engram and David Njoku swapped spots this month, with the Browns starter narrowly edging out Engram. Both of these veterans are excellent options if you find players like Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews to be too expensive to acquire.

Risers

Player	June Trade Value	July Trade Value	Change
Jonathon Brooks	260.15	352.03	91.88
George Pickens	278.36	327.11	48.75
Kyler Murray	224.19	257.34	33.15
Nico Collins	530.83	560.72	29.89
Trey McBride	405.95	435.50	29.55
Christian Watson	198.86	220.94	22.08
Jameson Williams	98.08	116.75	18.67
Jaxon Smith-Njigba	411.93	430.03	18.10
Marvin Harrison, Jr.	851.68	869.12	17.44
Deebo Samuel	388.87	404.98	16.11

• I already mentioned the rookie back Jonathon Brooks as a big riser this month. In fact, he’s the top riser despite that lingering effect from last season’s injury. This is likely just due to dynasty managers beginning to truly compare the upside and long-term value of Brooks with veterans in the low-end RB1/high-end RB2 range. I expect Brooks to continue to climb, potentially overtaking Kyren Williams and Kenneth Walker soon.
• Jameson Williams recently drew the praises of his coaching staff and sometimes that is all it takes for a player’s dynasty value to spike. Williams saw a sizable jump as the only player with an original value under 100 points. As a former first-rounder in one of the league’s top offenses, there is a lot to like about the former Crimson Tide star, but he needs to show consistency to regain the value he had as a rookie.

Fallers

Player	June Trade Value	July Trade Value	Change
Kyren Williams	519.42	425.39	-94.03
D’Andre Swift	269.72	239.40	-30.32
AJ Brown	878.08	851.82	-26.26
Justin Herbert	301.58	277.18	-24.41
Davante Adams	387.91	364.64	-23.27
Rachaad White	350.16	330.95	-19.21
TJ Hockenson	303.98	286.82	-17.17
Chris Olave	743.53	727.01	-16.52
Stefon Diggs	300.62	284.12	-16.51
Tank Dell	514.22	498.08	-16.14

• Rams running back Kyren Williams was the biggest faller of the month and it wasn’t even close. Losing nearly 100 points of trade value over the past few weeks, I continue to be shocked when Williams shows up as a top-50 pick in dynasty leagues or top-30 pick in redraft leagues, including the ongoing Scott Fish Bowl. Not only would I prefer Blake Corum to Williams at cost, but I am itching to rank the rookie ahead of Williams straight up.
• We saw Nico Collins show up as one of the top risers following his massive contract extension. In a related move, fellow Texans receivers Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell lost some value since last month. Buy Dell at any discount and target Diggs as a contender. This Houston offense has quickly become one we want a piece of in dynasty leagues. We’ll take another look next month!
