How to read this comparison

These are market trade values — what dynasty managers actually pay, not one analyst's ranking. A one-for-one that's within 5% on value is fair; anything wider needs the lighter side to add a piece. But value is only the starting point: James Cook (RB · BUF · Age 26) and Jaylen Waddle (WR · DEN · Age 27) fit different rosters. A contender weights proven production; a rebuilder weights youth and picks. Check both full value pages, then run your exact package — with picks or extra players — through the calculator.
