Is Brandon Aiyuk for DeVonta Smith fair?

Brandon Aiyuk and DeVonta Smith have been on opposite sides of 30 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: Brandon Aiyuk for DeVonta Smith, nothing else changing hands.

This is the part a calculator cannot tell you. In 9 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, and 9 of those 9 times it was the Brandon Aiyuk side (0 the other way). The side that keeps having to add is the side holding the lesser asset, so the market has been treating DeVonta Smith as the more valuable of the two.

What they cost today

Everything above is priced on the day each deal happened, which is the only honest way to grade a completed trade. It is not what they cost now. Today Brandon Aiyuk prices at 880 and DeVonta Smith at 5,020, so the market currently rates DeVonta Smith about 5.7x the other. A pair can lean one way across its history and price the opposite way now; that gap is the whole reason to check the deal in front of you rather than the deal someone made in 2023.

Why this beats a calculator on this exact question

A calculator answers “is Brandon Aiyuk for DeVonta Smith 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 30 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
