Question 1

What is a dynasty trade calculator?

Accepted Answer

A dynasty trade calculator assigns a value to every fantasy football player and draft pick so you can tell instantly whether a trade is fair. The Trade Calc covers dynasty and redraft leagues in Superflex, 1QB, 2QB, PPR, Half-PPR and TE-premium formats.

Question 2

Is this fantasy football trade fair?

Accepted Answer

Add players and picks to each side and The Trade Calc shows each side's total value, a fairness verdict, and a consolidation adjustment for multi-player packages, so you know who wins the trade before you accept it.

Question 3

How are player values calculated?

Accepted Answer

Dynasty values are built on thousands of real dynasty trades pulled across Sleeper every day and solved into a value for every player and pick — that's your value with no votes at all. Community Elo voting then adjusts it, with the crowd's influence growing as real votes accumulate, capped at 50%. So the site mirrors the real trade market early and becomes a true trades-plus-consensus hybrid over time. Redraft values use a consensus of Sleeper, ESPN and Yahoo ADP.

Question 4

Do you support Superflex, 2QB and TE-premium leagues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch between Superflex, 1QB and 2QB, choose PPR, Half-PPR or Standard scoring, set your team count, and toggle TE premium. Every player value re-adjusts to your exact league settings.

Question 5

Can I sync my Sleeper or Fantrax league?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect a Sleeper or Fantrax league for power rankings, a trade matchmaker that builds fair deals with any team, waiver-wire targets, and per-team draft pick ownership. No login required for public leagues.

Question 6

Where do redraft rankings come from?

Accepted Answer

Redraft rankings are a true consensus: we pull real Average Draft Position from Sleeper, ESPN and Yahoo and average all three, refreshed daily. You can also view any single source on its own, or build your own rankings and draft off those instead.

Question 7

What is the Mock Board and Live Draft mode?

Accepted Answer

The Mock Board lays out any ADP source as a snake-style draft board shaped to your league settings. On draft day, flip on Live Draft and tap players off the board as they get picked — so you always know who is still available against ADP.

Question 8

Can I use my own rankings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch the source to My Rankings and drag players into your own order, on the list or the draft board — it works on desktop and phone, saves automatically to your browser, and pairs with Live Draft so you draft off your own board.

Question 9

Is The Trade Calc free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, The Trade Calc is completely free. The dynasty trade calculator, dynasty and rookie rankings, trade database, and league tools are all free to use.
