Value through each week · 2026 · Dynasty SF

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 SF

This season 12%Next two seasons 34%Later 54%

73% of it is upside, the model's allowance for him outplaying his projection of 12.3 a game; the projection alone is worth the other 27%. 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.

What he's worth in a trade

Dynasty SF

Real trades · 133 in the last year · 98 in dynasty Superflex leagues

The last 90 days of the sample, dynasty leagues: 55 trades, 50 Superflex or 2QB and 5 one-QB, 34 with a TE premium. Every trade with him, by format →

Managers have been getting him for less than this

In 10 Dynasty SF trades since September where he went alone, what came back for him was about 0.73× his value here (the middle half of them 0.31× to 0.8×). The market prices DK lower than Swindlr does.

What managers actually gave for DK in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like Dynasty SF 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. 8 of them look lopsided at today's values (values move after a trade, with injuries and role changes, so a fair price then can look lopsided now); none is left out.
