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.

His projection (4.7 a game) doesn't clear a replacement-level tight end yet, so his value is all upside: the model's allowance for him becoming more than that, which it makes wider the further ahead it looks. It's the least certain part of any value. The projection weighs this season's 6.9 a game over 3 games against last season's 2.8 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 Nate 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.

Equal value today · Swindlr's estimate

Not real trades: packages that land within a few percent of Nate's value in Dynasty SF 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.
