By Alex Kurpeski
Is your starting wide receiver nursing a hamstring injury? Well, join the club! If you need to swing a deal for a stud, then this is the article for you!
WR Trade Value (PPR Redraft)
1.DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Hopkins has looked amazing for the Cardinals thus far, while also avoiding injuries to this point.Â
2. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Hill is the 1B to Hopkins’ 1A right now. He’s the highest upside receiver in the league.Â
3. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR3, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Godwin is slightly below Hill and Hopkins in terms of value, though that could change as he develops chemistry with Tom Brady.Â
4. Mike Thomas, New Orleans Saints
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Thomas’s ankle injury hurts his overall upside.Â
5. Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Like Thomas, Adams’ hamstring injury hurts his case to be in the top tier.Â
6. Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Ridley is currently the WR1 overall, which lands him in this spot.Â
7. Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Thielen lands in this category based on volume of targets.Â
8. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons
Trade Value = RB1, RB2 + WR2 + WR2, RB3 + WR1, TE1 + RB2
Jones lands in the second tier of receivers due to name value.Â
9. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions
Trade Value = RB2, RB2 + WR3 + WR3, RB3 + WR2, TE1 + RB3
Golladay’s hamstring injury knocks him down quite a bit, but his upside keeps him in the top ten.Â
10. D.K Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks
Trade Value = RB2, RB2 + WR3 + WR3, RB3 + WR2, TE1 + RB3
Metcalf has been a menace this season, torturing defensive backs through two weeks. He’s in store for a monster season and could rise up this board soon.Â
WR Trade Value (PPR Dynasty)
1.Mike Thomas, New Orleans Saints
Trade Value = Two rookie first round picks + WR2 + RB3, One rookie first round pick + WR1 + RB3, RB1, RB2 + RB2 + WR3
Thomas broke an NFL record for receptions last season and he’s only 27. He’s the closest thing to untouchable as far as receivers go.Â
2. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Trade Value = Two rookie first round picks + WR2 + RB4, One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, RB2 + WR1, RB2 + RB3 + WR2
Godwin’s youth (24 years old) and production from last season make him a great value in dynasty leagues. He’ll be tough to trade for or part with.Â
3. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
Trade Value = Two rookie first round picks + WR2 + RB4, One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, RB2 + WR1, RB2 + RB3 + WR2
Hill and Godwin are roughly equal values, as both players are a perfect hybrid of deep threat and slot receiver.Â
4. Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers
Trade Value = Two rookie first round picks + WR3 + RB4, One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR4, RB3 + WR1, RB3 + RB3 + WR2
Though receivers have a longer shelf life than running backs, they do trail off after the age of 30. That being said, trading for Adams is going to cost you, as he’s arguably the best receiver in the league when healthy.Â
5. DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals
Trade Value = Two rookie first round picks + WR3 + RB4, One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR4, RB3 + WR1, RB3 + RB3 + WR2
Like Adams, Hopkins is nearing 30. He’s also a bonafide WR1 on a pass-happy offense.Â
6. Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons
Trade Value = One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, WR1 + WR3, WR2 + WR2 + RB3, TE1 + RB3 + WR2
Ridley is ascending in his third season and he’s only 25 years old.Â
7. D.K Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks
Trade Value = One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, WR1 + WR3, WR2 + WR2 + RB3, TE1 + RB3 + WR2
Metcalf is making the leap in his second season.Â
8. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions
Trade Value = One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, WR1 + WR3, WR2 + WR2 + RB3, TE1 + RB3 + WR2
Golladay is another rising star at the position who is worth his weight in picks + prospects.Â
9. D.J Moore, Carolina Panthers
Trade Value = One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, WR1 + WR3, WR2 + WR2 + RB3, TE1 + RB3 + WR2
Youth + upside + production.Â
10. Terry McLaurin, Washington Football Team
Trade Value = One rookie first round pick + RB2 + WR3, WR1 + WR3, WR2 + WR2 + RB3, TE1 + RB3 + WR2
Once again, youth + upside + production.
