Read each row as: Amari Cooper, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Christian Kirk plus anything in the fourth. An em dash means that side sent nobody else. Margin is the value gap at that day’s prices from the side that received Amari Cooper; positive means that side came out ahead.

The whole-deal margin

Across all 24, the whole-deal value gap runs +11.1% from the side that received Amari Cooper, so the side ending up with Amari Cooper has generally come out ahead on face value. That measures the entire trade, every piece included, not these two players against each other.

Why this beats a calculator on this exact question

A calculator answers “is Amari Cooper for Christian Kirk fair” by subtracting one number from another, and it gives every manager in your league the same answer. That tells you nothing about whether the trade closes. What closes it is whether one side has to attach a piece, and which side that usually is. The 24 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
