Trade values for all fantasy football players can drastically change ahead of each new week of the season. Their recent performances and injury situations are among the biggest factors contributing to this. With Week 2 of the 2024 season quickly approaching, here are some of the most significant changes to keep an eye on.
Fantasy Football trade value chart notes for Week 2
Fantasy Football trade value chart - QBs
Following his disastrous Week 1 performance, Joe Burrow has lost some of his trade value entering Week 2. He threw for just 164 yards and failed to record a touchdown pass for the Cincinnati Bengals. Kirk Cousins was also disappointing in his first game back from an Achilles injury, so his value has dropped as well.

Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts still sit firmly on top of the quarterback rankings as their dynamic dual-threat styles have made them elite fantasy options. Anthony Richardson has an opportunity to join them if he continues his strong play, but for now, he comes in fifth.
Fantasy Football trade value chart - RBs
Derrick Henry was solid in his debut for the Baltimore Ravens, totaling 46 yards and a touchdown. He switched teams for the first time in his career, so his production should increase as he becomes more comfortable with his new situation. He comes in as the fifth-ranked running back on the trade value chart.
One of the fastest risers ahead of Week 2 is Joe Mixon, who dominated in his first game with his new team. His 30 carries and RB2 finish in Week 1 will significantly increase his trade value. Rachaad White is in the opposite scenario as his value is decreasing as rookie Bucky Irving was much more efficient with his touches.
Fantasy Football trade value chart - WRs
The Los Angeles Rams received devastating news when Puka Nacua suffered an injury last week. He will reportedly be placed on the injured reserve list and miss at least the next four games. This understandably results in his trade value taking a major hit.
Cooper Kupp will be the biggest beneficiary of the injury in fantasy football and his trade value has skyrocketed. George Pickens will be another wide receiver to keep a close eye on as his value continues to increase. He recorded six catches for 85 yards with his backup quarterback and has no real threat to his overall workload.
Fantasy Football trade value chart - TEs
The Baltimore Ravens tight end situation is one of the most interesting developments to come out of Week 1. Veteran Mark Andrews was outperformed by rising star Isaiah Likely, making their roles unclear moving forward. This has greatly improved Likely's outlook while decreasing Andrews' trade value.
Injuries also played a major role in the Week 2 trade value chart for tight ends, including Jake Ferguson and David Njoku. They were both popular targets entering this year after breakout performances last season, but injuries in their first game have negatively impacted their values.
