Value through each week · 2026 · SF TE+

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.

His projection (12.1 a game) doesn't clear a replacement-level quarterback yet, so his value is all upside: the model's allowance for him becoming more than that, which it makes wider in a player's first three seasons. It's the least certain part of any value.

What he's worth in a trade

SF TE+

Real trades · 85 in the last year · 80 in dynasty Superflex leagues

The last 90 days of the sample, dynasty leagues: 36 trades, 33 Superflex or 2QB and 3 one-QB, 26 with a TE premium. Every trade with him, by format →

Traded 12 times in dynasty leagues the week of Oct 19–25, 2026: what managers gave for him that week.

Managers have been getting him for less than this

In 8 SF TE+ trades since October where he went alone, what came back for him was about 0.53× his value here (the middle half of them 0.34× to 0.79×). The market prices J.J. lower than Swindlr does.

What managers actually gave for J.J. in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like SF TE+ 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. 10 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.

Equal value today · Swindlr's estimate

Not real trades: packages that land within a few percent of J.J.'s value in SF TE+ 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.
