1 2018 Empire League Trade Value Chart 1 RB1 95 Todd Gurley LAR Gurley was simply the best player in RB2 90 Ezekiel Elliott DAL He will be weirdly downgraded in value due to his suspension, but shouldn't be 3 RB2 90 Le'Veon Bell PIT Franchise tag? Long term deal? Or free agency? 4 WR1 90 DeAndre Hopkins HOU It's proven he's QB-proof, and he's got a really good QB 5 WR1 90 Antonio Brown PIT The most technically sound player in the NFL 6 RB4 85 Alvin Kamara NO Dude might be the top player on this list by this time next year 7 RB5 80 Leonard Fournette JAC I saw enough early and enough in the playoffs, this guy is legit 8 WR3 80 Mike Evans TB Both Winston and Evans have a down year, is a huge bounceback coming? 9 RB5 80 David Johnson ARI Don't forget it was just a wrist injury, not a knee, don't forget Dave 10 WR4 75 Odell Beckham NYG Can't deny the talent, but he's missed more time with injuries than you think 11 WR4 75 Michael Thomas NO The ONLY concern is Drew Brees' future 12 WR4 75 Julio Jones ATL If you can stomach the weird no-shows, he'll put up the crazy awesome game twice a year 13 RB7 70 Kareem Hunt KC Hot start, but snake-bitten by a coaching staff that misused him down the stretch 14 RB7 70 Melvin Gordon LAC A good solid, albeit always dinged-up, RB on an up-and-coming team 15 WR7 70 A.J. Green CIN I wish he had something slightly better than Andy Dalton at QB 16 QB1 70 Aaron Rodgers GB The Aaron Rodgers revenge tour, coming to a city near you in QB2 65 Deshaun Watson HOU I hope the knee injury was a complete fluke and he's back to the dynamic playmaker soon 18 QB2 65 Carson Wentz PHI I just realized my top 3 QBs all ended the season on IR 19 WR8 65 Davante Adams GB Re-upped in Green Bay to be Rodgers top guy from here on out 20 WR8 65 Keenan Allen LAC Consistent great play when healthy, I'm so worried about the health though 21 TE1 65 Travis Kelce KC Slightly less explosive, but slightly more bankable than Gronk 22 TE1 65 Rob Gronkowski NE I'm shocked that he stayed mostly healthy this season 23 RB9 60 Dalvin Cook MIN Looked every bit the part in 4 games, comes back to lead a good offense 24 WR10 60 Tyreek Hill KC He's the small, fast version of Julio. A high-risk, high-reward DFS play 25 WR10 60 Brandin Cooks NE I think the return of Edelman will be great, how long can Brady go? 26 WR10 60 Amari Cooper OAK Can Gruden make this value skyrocket? 27 QB4 60 Jimmy Garoppolo SF I'd love for him to see free agency and get paid the most money ever 28 TE3 60 Zach Ertz PHI Only a slight step below the other two TE options, but the last of the top tier 29 WR10 60 Adam Thielen MIN He proved it throughout the year, but who is his QB next season? 30 QB4 60 Russell Wilson SEA Just continues to put up fantasy points every autumn 31 WR14 55 JuJu Smith-Schuster PIT He's got all the upside Bryant used to have, but without the defiance 32 RB10 55 Christian McCaffery CAR I think he ends up as a slot WR, and you almost need to treat him as such 33 RB10 55 Jordan Howard CHI Maybe Matt Nagy commits to Howard the way he actually committed to Hunt 34 RB10 55 Derrick Henry TEN The Titans were a better offense with Henry as the feature back, Vrabel sees that right?

2 35 RB10 55 Jay Ajayi PHI He's looked great in spurts, but is he always going to be a part of a 3-headed backfield? 36 WR14 55 Jarvis Landry MIA Franchise tag has been applied. His value probably goes up in the case of a trade. 37 RB10 55 Devonta Freeman ATL Never looked quite the same after his concussion, a little concerned with that 38 WR14 55 T.Y. Hilton IND If Luck returns, this is a buy low moment. If not, yikes. 39 RB10 55 Mark Ingram NO He put up numbers as good as Kamara, but he's not going to deliver that trade value 40 QB6 50 Dak Prescott DAL Will Dak ever morph into a 30-TD guy? As long as the legs hold out, who cares 41 QB6 50 Derek Carr OAK Gruden either proves he's elite or he's completely mediocre 42 QB6 50 Andrew Luck IND Your guess is as good as mine here, could be an 80 or a 0 at this time next year 43 WR17 50 Alshon Jeffery PHI The Wentz/Jeffery combo was gaining steam as the season went on 44 WR17 50 Dez Bryant DAL I don't think that the Dez/Dak thing will ever really work, maybe it's Dez 45 WR17 50 Doug Baldwin SEA Graham entering free agency could open vacated targets in QB6 50 Cam Newton CAR The QB version of Julio Jones, huge game then maddeningly below average 47 Pick 50 Early 1st Round 2018 Pick Barkley is the prize at #1, as long as he doesn't end up in Cleveland 48 RB16 45 Joe Mixon CIN Showed lots of flash down the stretch, the o-line needs to get right 49 TE4 45 Evan Engram NYG Outperformed just about every rookie TE ever, out of necessity 50 QB10 45 Jared Goff LAR I really like the new coach, and the line and the RB, but I'm still not sold on Goff 51 WR20 45 Stefon Diggs MIN The Minneapolis Miracle drives up the price, but as with Thielen, who is the QB? 52 QB10 45 Jameis Winston TB I wish they would have made a coaching change, maybe Winston is hungry this year 53 QB10 45 Matthew Stafford DET I'm sure he's good, but he'll never be great. We've seen the peak. 54 QB10 45 Drew Brees NO As of writing this, his contract is expiring. Would be a fascinating free agent 55 QB10 45 Tom Brady NE You can't make a 40-something QB more than this in value 56 QB15 40 Marcus Mariota TEN I'm still not sure if he's good. Is he? 57 WR21 40 Michael Crabtree OAK I think the downslope is starting, but there's a chance for a couple more magic seasons 58 WR21 40 Jordy Nelson GB No one will welcome Rodgers back with a bigger hug than Jordy 59 QB15 40 Matt Ryan ATL Matty Average 60 WR23 35 Allen Robinson JAC Knee rehab is going well, should be back as the prime target for JAC in WR23 35 Will Fuller HOU When healthy with Watson and Hopkins, his stock will soar 62 WR23 35 Josh Gordon CLE Browns have him under team control in 2018, RFA in 2019, that's an 8-year rookie deal 63 QB17 35 Kirk Cousins FA The Alex Smith trade all but guarantees that he's hitting the open market 64 RB17 35 LeSean McCoy BUF Bills rode McCoy to a playoff berth, but the wheels are starting to come off 65 QB17 35 Philip Rivers LAC The offense may be as talented now as the LT years 66 QB17 35 Ben Roethlisberger PIT The retirement rumors will depress his value 67 WR26 30 Corey Davis TEN Whats smaller than flashes? Glimmers? There were glimmers of hope 68 WR26 30 Sterling Shepard NYG Looked good as a top WR option out of necessity 69 WR26 30 Corey Coleman CLE Don't break your GD hand again! 70 RB18 30 Tevin Coleman ATL He's always going to be second fiddle in Atlanta's backfield

4 107 WR38 15 Chris Hogan NE Will he disappear into the background when Edelman returns? 108 RB24 15 DeMarco Murray TEN This is the potential out year of his contract for the Titans, no dead cap if they cut him 109 QB20 15 Case Keenum MIN Probably earned a chance to start in the NFL next year, but where? 110 TE6 15 Jimmy Graham SEA Free agent, where will he land next year?
