Is Amari Cooper for Cooper Kupp fair?

Amari Cooper and Cooper Kupp have been on opposite sides of 23 real dynasty trades.

Not simulations and not a calculator lining up two numbers. Every one of them is a completed trade from a public Sleeper league, graded at the player values that were current on the day it happened.

Most of those were larger deals with other pieces attached. 1 of them were straight up: Amari Cooper for Cooper Kupp, nothing else changing hands.

In 4 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, split 2 to 2 between the Amari Cooper side and the Cooper Kupp side. That is too close, and too small a sample, to call either player the more valuable.

Read each row as: Amari Cooper, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Cooper Kupp 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 23, the whole-deal value gap runs +8.5% 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 Cooper Kupp 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 23 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
