Dave Richard's Week 8 Trade Chart Highlights Fantasy Football Strategies

The Fantasy football season has reached its halfway mark, with teams assessing their standings. Managers with three to five losses are likely in a win-now mindset, while those with two or fewer losses may be aiming for a championship run.

As the trade deadline approaches, teams looking to strengthen their rosters will pursue high-profile players through multi-player trades. The Trade Chart, created by CBS Sports over fifteen years ago, assists managers in making equitable trades by providing player values based on expected future performance and public sentiment.

This chart also serves as a rest-of-season ranking for the 2026 campaign, indicating that players not listed should be valued at no more than four points. Managers are encouraged to reach out with questions or trade reports to enhance future editions of the chart.
