2026 Trade Value Charts — Justin Boone's fantasy football quarterback breakdown for Week 6

Fantasy football managers looking to make strategic trades ahead of Week 6 now have a data-driven guide to assess quarterback values. Justin Boone’s rest-of-season trade value charts assign each QB a numerical score, reflecting their projected fantasy impact in both starting and backup roles.

Top-tier quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Brock Purdy lead the rankings, with Allen commanding a 32-point value as a starter and 81 as a backup, while Purdy follows closely at 21 and 70, respectively. The mid-tier includes standouts like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes II, each with balanced scores of 16 and 14 as starters, alongside 61 and 58 for backup potential.

Meanwhile, lower-tier options like Baker Mayfield and Carson Beck sit at the bottom, with Mayfield scoring just 19 as a backup and Beck at 8, signaling limited trade appeal beyond desperate roster needs. The chart also highlights outliers like Jordan Love and C.J.

Stroud, who rank higher than expected in backup value (38 and 37, respectively), suggesting their dual-threat abilities could make them viable trade chips even in deeper lineups.
