Value through each week · 2026 · Dynasty IDP

Recalculated: today's model on the games through each week, valued at today's point in the season. It shows what each week's games did to his value, not the values Swindlr showed at the time.

Swindlr records its published values weekly from Oct 28, 2026; they'll appear here as a record beside this chart.

Where his value comes from · Dynasty IDP

This season 9%Next two seasons 29%Later 62%

84% of it is upside, the model's allowance for him outplaying his projection of 13.9 a game; the projection alone is worth the other 16%. That allowance comes from how widely players at his position score around their projections, set wider in a player's first three seasons and for seasons further off, and it's the least certain part of the number: a valuation that counts less of it would price him lower. The projection weighs this season's 17.3 a game over 6 games against last season's 10.9 and his draft slot, giving less weight to last season when his role has grown, and it moves as the games pile up.

What managers actually gave for Barrett in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like Dynasty IDP first. Each shows the date and the league's settings; the price is what was agreed then, and the line under it is today's value, a different thing. Two-team trades of up to four pieces a side; none is left out for disagreeing with Swindlr. No league or manager names.

Equal value today · Swindlr's estimate

Not real trades: packages that land within a few percent of Barrett's value in Dynasty IDP now. A two-for-one shows the pair's total less the roster spot the second player takes, as the calculator counts it. Open one to see who wins it.
