Editorial Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

DynastyTradeCalc is committed to publishing useful, clear, transparent, and responsible dynasty fantasy football content.

This Editorial Policy explains how we research, write, review, update, and correct the information published on DynastyTradeCalc.com.

Our Editorial Purpose

Our goal is to help dynasty fantasy football managers better understand:

  • Player and rookie-pick values
  • Dynasty rankings
  • Trade-package comparisons
  • Superflex, 1QB, and PPR formats
  • Startup drafts
  • Roster-building strategies
  • Common dynasty trade mistakes

Our calculator, rankings, value charts, and articles are designed to support decision-making. They should not be treated as guaranteed answers.

People-First Content

We aim to create content for dynasty fantasy football managers rather than publishing pages only to target search-engine keywords.

Each page should have a clear purpose and provide useful information such as:

  • Original rankings or value tables
  • Practical trade examples
  • League-format assumptions
  • Screenshots or instructions
  • Explanations of calculations
  • Relevant football context
  • Clear limitations

We avoid unnecessary keyword repetition, misleading titles, unrelated topics, and multiple pages that provide substantially the same information.

Research and Sources

Our content may be informed by publicly available information such as:

  • Official NFL and team announcements
  • Player transactions and injury reports
  • Depth-chart information
  • Publicly available player statistics
  • Fantasy football platform settings
  • League-format trends
  • Market observations
  • Our own editorial analysis

Where appropriate, we aim to link to or identify relevant original sources.

Facts, projections, opinions, rankings, and calculated values should be presented clearly so that readers can understand the difference between them.

Rankings and Player Values

Dynasty rankings and trade values are estimates based on available information and editorial judgment.

Values may be influenced by factors including:

  • Player age
  • Position
  • Recent performance
  • Expected role
  • Injury history
  • Team situation
  • Contract or roster changes
  • League format
  • Scoring settings
  • Positional scarcity
  • Rookie-pick value
  • Short-term and long-term outlook

No ranking or calculator can reflect every league’s settings, team needs, or manager preferences.

Users should consider calculator results as a starting point and apply their own judgment before making a trade.

League-Format Assumptions

Where relevant, we aim to identify important assumptions such as:

  • 1QB or Superflex
  • PPR, half-PPR, or standard scoring
  • Number of teams
  • Starting-lineup requirements
  • Tight-end premium settings
  • Rookie-pick year and round
  • Contending or rebuilding team context

A value may be different when league settings or roster structures change.

Content Review Process

Before important content is published or substantially updated, we aim to review it for:

  • Accuracy
  • Relevance
  • Readability
  • Internal consistency
  • Correct headings and formatting
  • Appropriate sources
  • Clear assumptions
  • Unsupported or exaggerated claims
  • Broken or outdated links
  • Duplicate or unnecessary sections

Calculator, ranking, value-chart, and rookie-pick pages may require additional review because their information can change over time.

Update Policy

Fantasy football information may change quickly because of injuries, trades, releases, signings, suspensions, drafts, coaching changes, and player performance.

We review important pages periodically, but we do not guarantee that every page will be updated immediately after every development.

Where practical, important data pages should display:

  • A publication or update date
  • The applicable season
  • League-format assumptions
  • Relevant methodology
  • A summary of major changes

We do not claim that content is updated daily or weekly unless that schedule is genuinely followed.

Corrections Policy

We aim to correct meaningful factual, technical, formatting, and calculation errors when they are identified.

A correction may involve:

  • Updating incorrect information
  • Fixing a calculator or table error
  • Removing an unsupported claim
  • Replacing an outdated source
  • Correcting a broken link
  • Clarifying an assumption
  • Adding an editor’s note
  • Updating the page’s revision date

Readers may report potential errors through our Contact page.

Please include the page URL, a description of the issue, and any supporting source that may help us review the correction.

Independence and Conflicts of Interest

DynastyTradeCalc is an independent fantasy football website.

Editorial content should not be influenced by advertisers or commercial partners in a way that changes our honest analysis.

Where a page contains an affiliate relationship, sponsorship, paid placement, or other commercial connection, we aim to disclose it clearly.

Advertising displayed on the website is separate from editorial rankings, player values, and calculator results unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Comparisons and Third-Party Platforms

We may publish comparisons involving fantasy football websites, tools, platforms, or services.

Such comparisons should:

  • Use clear evaluation criteria
  • Avoid copying another website’s content
  • Distinguish facts from opinions
  • Disclose relevant ownership or commercial relationships
  • Avoid misleading claims of affiliation
  • Be based on genuine review or testing where stated

DynastyTradeCalc is not affiliated with third-party platforms unless expressly disclosed.

Artificial Intelligence Assistance

Technology or artificial-intelligence tools may be used to assist with tasks such as:

  • Organizing drafts
  • Improving grammar or readability
  • Identifying formatting problems
  • Summarizing research notes
  • Supporting technical workflows

AI-generated output should not be published without human review.

The website operator or editor remains responsible for checking important facts, calculations, sources, claims, and final published content.

AI tools must not be used to invent statistics, experience, sources, user numbers, subscriber counts, testing results, or author credentials.

Originality

We aim to publish original content and analysis.

We do not intentionally copy substantial content from other websites.

Short quotations, statistics, platform names, and external references may be used where appropriate for commentary, comparison, reporting, or explanation, with attribution where necessary.

Multiple pages should not be created merely by changing a few keywords while repeating the same information.

Author and Editor Information

Important articles should identify the person responsible for writing or reviewing the content where practical.

Author or editor profiles may include:

  • Real name
  • Relevant fantasy football experience
  • Editorial responsibilities
  • Areas of coverage
  • Contact or professional links
  • Recently reviewed articles

We do not publish invented qualifications or unverifiable experience claims.

Constructive feedback helps us improve the calculator, rankings, guides, and website experience.

Readers may contact us regarding:

  • Factual errors
  • Outdated player information
  • Calculator problems
  • Broken links
  • Unclear assumptions
  • Content suggestions
  • Accessibility or usability concerns
