Dynasty Trade Calculator

How to Use the Dynasty Trade Calculator

The Dynasty Trade Calculator is designed to help evaluate potential trades in a dynasty fantasy football league by estimating the trade value of a player. Follow the step-by-step guide to successfully input the required data and calculate the total trade value.

Step 1: Input Player Type

Begin by selecting the Player Type from the available options. This is a required field, and you can choose from:

• Quarterback (QB)
• Running Back (RB)
• Wide Receiver (WR)
• Tight End (TE)

Step 2: Enter Player Age

Input the player’s age in the Player Age field. This field is mandatory and should be a number between 20 and 40, increasing in steps of 1 year.

Step 3: Input Years of Experience

Enter the number of years the player has played in the NFL in the Years of Experience field. This is also a required field, ranging from 0 to 20 years, with a step of 1.

Step 4: Enter Previous Season Fantasy Points

Provide the fantasy points the player scored in the previous season in the Previous Season Fantasy Points field. This is a required entry, and the points must range from 0 to 500.

Step 5: Select Draft Pick Round

Next, choose the draft pick round where the player was selected from the Draft Pick Round options. This field is required, and you can select:

• 1st Round
• 2nd Round
• 3rd Round
• 4th Round

Step 6: Calculate Base Trade Value

Once all input fields are filled, calculate the Base Trade Value using the formula:

previousSeasonPoints * (1 - (playerAge - 20) * 0.05) * (1 + yearsExperience * 0.1)

This calculation adjusts the fantasy points based on the player’s age and experience.

Step 7: Calculate Position Adjusted Value

Calculate the Position Adjusted Value based on the player type by using:

baseValue * (playerType == 'qb' ? 1.2 : playerType == 'rb' ? 1.1 : playerType == 'wr' ? 1.0 : 0.9)

This value adjusts for the relative importance of each position in fantasy football.

Step 8: Calculate Draft Pick Value

Calculate the Draft Pick Value using the selected draft round to determine its worth:

(5 - draftRound) * 50

Step 9: Determine Total Trade Value

Finally, determine the Total Trade Value by adding the position adjusted value to the draft pick value:

positionMultiplier + draftPickValue

This final result helps evaluate the worth of the player in a potential trade scenario.
