Every trade calculator prices players. This one prices your bench.
A third running back is worth a lot on paper and nothing to a team that already starts two better ones. Trade Desk plays out the rest of your season and tells you how often each player would actually be in your starting lineup — and what the trade does to your playoff odds.
Turn this down
You give up Bhayshul Tuten and get Javonte Williams, who is worth more than twice as much on the open market. Most calculators call that a win. Here is why it isn’t:
Tuten was in your lineup nearly every week. Williams sits behind the backs you already start, so he would only crack it about a third of the time. Your playoff odds go from 46% to 38%.
What it actually does
Three things no free calculator does. Explained without jargon.
It knows your roster
Paste your team from Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo or NFL.com, or sync a Sleeper league directly. Every number is calculated for your actual lineup, not for a generic team.
It knows your league
Superflex roughly doubles what a quarterback is worth. Dynasty changes everything about age. Ten-team and fourteen-team leagues are different games. Set yours once and the whole board reprices.
It tells you when it might be wrong
Where our projection disagrees with what leagues are paying, the page says so, names the player, and gives you the number in points per game so you can argue with it.
What this doesn’t do, and won’t
No ads. No subscription. No account. Nothing is gated, nothing is upsold, and your league is never anybody’s product. This is free because it should be, not as a step toward charging later.
It also can’t see everything. It has no idea whether your league-mate is panicking, whether you are rebuilding, or what happened in practice this morning. It models one thing well — what a trade does to the points that actually reach your starting lineup — and it shows its work so you can disagree with it.
