Where values come from
Every player and pick value comes from Dynasty Dealer (dynastydealer.com). Their values are computed from hundreds of thousands of real trades made on Sleeper, not from expert rankings or crowd votes, so they track what managers actually pay.
The scale
- Values run from 0 to 10,000. The best asset in dynasty sits near the top, and a player worth 0 is replaceable off waivers.
- Values are additive: two players worth 4,000 add up to 8,000 on paper. Two mid pieces rarely buy a star, which is why the Trade Calculator also counts roster spots.
- Dynasty Dealer publishes one market value per player, priced like a 12-team superflex PPR league. Inside a league, every page and tool reprices it for that league’s lineup slots, team count and scoring (League Values shows how), so a 1QB or TE-premium league never sees superflex prices.
Draft picks
- Picks are named by year, round and slot, for example "2027 Round 1 Early".
- Next year’s picks use the projected draft order to choose Early, Mid or Late; later years count as Mid.
Freshness
- Dynasty Dealer recalculates daily and the app fetches the feed every hour. The dot in the header credit turns amber if the feed has been unreachable for a while.
- The app saves a daily snapshot, which is what Market Movers and value history are built from.
What values don’t know
Kickers, defenses and IDP players have no values. Draft picks keep their market price in every format. Lineups, projections and matchups use your league’s exact scoring.
Redraft, keeper and guillotine leagues
A league that isn’t dynasty plays for this season, so its players are priced with Dynasty Dealer’s redraft values for its scoring (PPR, half or standard) and QB format (1QB or superflex) instead. League Values shows them next to each player’s dynasty value, and the dynasty-only pages (Draft Picks, Market Movers, Prospects) stay out of the menu.
