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 and every dynasty deal you consider, but it can be easy to overlook an option at the top of that Trade Analyzer page.
While you’re wondering how closely valued rookie quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels are in dynasty leagues, 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, 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 that went through in one of our tracked dynasty leagues. Of course, the real change is noticeable over a larger period of 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 monthly series. On to the values.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the dynasty superflex values, which means a heavy focus on the quarterback position.

Bears rookie Caleb Williams continues to steadily gain value. This month, he claimed the QB7 spot, overtaking Chargers veteran Justin Herbert. I expect this value gain to increase as dynasty managers gain an understanding of just how much potential the Chicago offense has, thanks to new additions Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze and D’Andre Swift.
Meanwhile, Herbert will be missing Allen along with other weapons he’s played with thus far in his career. The Chargers offensive skill position group was recently rated as the worst in the league. While Herbert has slowly bled dynasty value, his ADP in seasonal and Underdog best ball leagues is a stark reminder of the bleak expectations for a player once considered among the best young signal callers in the league.
While the top-12 was mostly stagnant since last month, the QB2 range underwent massive changes. Rookie Jayden Daniels, Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson each gained one spot. That places Daniels as the QB13, though I think the majority of dynasty managers would prefer him to QB12 Trevor Lawrence currently.
Veterans Tua Tagovailoa and Kirk Cousins each dropped two spots, while rookie JJ McCarthy and Baker Mayfield climbed a pair of places, each. Cousins is likely still feeling the impact of the Michael Penix, along some slight concerns about his recovery from last year’s Achilles injury. Tagovailoa falling at all is somewhat confusing. With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle ready to roll, the only question surrounding Tagovailoa is his contract status.

Rookie Jonathon Brooks joins the RB1 group, debuting as the RB11. That comes despite the slow start to his career, coming off last season’s ACL injury. The rookie just narrowly missed out on Kenneth Walker’s RB10 spot. While the concerns about his health status and when he will be ready to take the field should be damaging Brooks’ trade value, that really isn’t happening.
Brooks replaces Josh Jacobs, who falls out of the top-12 since joining the Packers earlier this off-season. Perhaps this is due to the recent dynasty hype for Packers rookie MarShawn Lloyd, a player I am targeting in as many leagues as possible, Jacobs is quickly becoming a major value. The math seems really simple in this situation. Jacobs was among the most productive backs over recent seasons, sporting annual fantasy ranks of RB8, RB11 and RB3, before suffering an injury and struggling last season. Jacobs did all of that with the often-hapless Raiders and now joins the Packers’ strong offense.

The top-three receivers remain, with CeeDee Lamb holding the WR3 spot. The trio fall in place with small gaps between them before the gaps widen in a major way. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR4) and Marvin Harrison Jr (WR5) are essentially in their own individual tiers with 40-50-point gaps between them and the players above and below.
Tyreek Hill moved back up one spot as the WR9. Veterans gaining trade value is a commonplace this time of year as the NFL regular season gets closer.
We’ve all watched the Brandon Aiyuk situation play out as he is looking for a new contract and has officially requested a trade from the 49ers. The team seems unwilling to move Aiyuk, which is understandable given their Super Bowl aspirations. With Aiyuk’s future uncertain, he’s fallen out of the WR1 range, replaced by Falcons young receiver Drake London.

This month, we see a trio of young tight ends gain value and move up the Trade Value ranks, including rookie Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid and Kyle Pitts. Bowers and Kincaid each gained one spot while Pitts moved up a pair to the TE6 position. This all happened as a result of veteran TJ Hockenson falling four spots to the TE8. With few major changes from month to month, this is the biggest drop of the off-season outside of Justin Fields. Recent reports have been hot and cold with Hockenson, though it seems impossible that he will escape the PUP list, which will cost him at least six games.
David Njoku climbed up to the TE10 spot, leapfrogging Dallas Goedert. Surprisingly, Evan Engram is still behind Goedert as the TE12. Recent redraft ADP data suggests Engram is usually drafted ahead of both Njoku and Goedert.

As I mentioned earlier, we typically see veterans gaining value this time of year, so it is surprising to see a trio of rookies, McCarthy, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, show up among the top-five quarterback risers this month. While Daniels seemingly has the starting job locked up for Washington, both Maye and McCarthy appear likely to start the season as the QB2 for their squads.

We’ve already discussed the drop for Cousins, Herbert and Tagovailoa. Although Deshaun Watson didn’t lose much value, he does show up among the top-five fallers for the month. Watson’s dynasty value has really tanked following he return to the field following his long suspension. His production has been better than you might realize though. Watson has reeled off five QB1 games in his past seven healthy games. With some added weapons to the Browns’ offense, Watson has become one of my favorite trade targets in a dynasty superflex league.
In addition to his senior leadership role here at DLF, Ryan is also a husband, father of three and PE teacher. Ryan is the commissioner of multiple dynasty leagues, most notably the Kitchen Sink Dynasty Leagues. Here at DLF, Ryan’s focus is on identifying, monitoring and analyzing player value.
