How It Works

DynastyTrade is built on a dynamic valuation engine. Understand the math behind the machine so you can dominate your league.

The Package Penalty

In dynasty fantasy football, four average players do not equal one superstar. Our engine applies a dynamic Package Penalty. When you trade multiple assets, your most valuable piece retains 100% value, but your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pieces suffer a percentage decay to accurately simulate roster consolidation.

League Context Matters

Our package penalty is not static. In a shallow 10-team, Start 9 league, superstars are incredibly scarce, so the package penalty becomes much harsher. In a deep 14-team, Start 11 league, depth is king, so the penalty drops significantly, allowing package deals to thrive.

SF & TEP Scoring

Toggling Superflex instantly boosts all Quarterback values by 1.5x, reflecting the immense premium of QBs in 2QB formats. Toggling Tight End Premium boosts all TE values by 1.25x to account for the extra PPR points they receive in premium formats.

IDP Support

Unlike many generic calculators, we fully support Individual Defensive Players (LB, DL, DB). Turning on the Heavy IDP toggle will multiply all defensive player values by 1.5x, simulating leagues where tackles and sacks score highly.
