Built from real trades
Every value comes from completed trades in real Sleeper dynasty leagues, thousands of them. Not expert rankings, not crowd votes, not a this-or-that poll: what managers actually gave up for a player.
When managers start paying more for a player, his value moves with them. When they stop, it falls.
As of November 2026, Qlinch values use only Sleeper data: completed trades, plus Sleeper rookie drafts for rookies who haven't been traded enough yet. No other site's values or rankings go into them.
Priced in draft picks
Values are stated in draft picks, the currency your league already trades in. 1.0 is a mid 1st-round pick in the next rookie draft (today, a mid 2027 1st). A player at 2.5 costs about two and a half of those picks.
"About a mid 1st and a late 2nd" tells you more than a score out of 10,000, and you can hold any offer up against it.
A package is worth less than its parts
Two good players rarely buy one great one. Real trades show that managers pay extra for the single best piece in a deal, so Qlinch values a 2-for-1 the way leagues actually trade, not as a plain sum of the pieces.
Picks priced by round and likely draft spot
An early 1st and a late 1st are different assets. Picks are priced by round, by how early or late they are likely to land, and by draft year. Once a draft order is set, a pick is priced as its exact slot.
Every format has its own values
Superflex, Superflex with TE premium, 1QB and 1QB with TE premium each have their own values. A quarterback is worth far more when you can start two, and TE premium scoring raises the price of tight ends.
Updated every morning
New trades are added overnight and values refresh every morning, US Eastern time, so they follow the market through the season, the trade deadline and rookie drafts. Market shows how each player's value has moved over the last day, week or month, and arrows mark players whose trades in the past week paid well above or below their value.
What a value can't tell you
A value is a market price: what a player costs in trades today. It is not a projection of his points, and it doesn't know your league. A fair trade can still be wrong for your team, so check what it does to your starting lineup too. Connect your Sleeper league in the calculator to see your own rosters and format.
