Is Chase Claypool for Mike Evans fair?

Chase Claypool and Mike Evans have been on opposite sides of 22 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.

None of them were a straight one-for-one. Every time these two crossed, something else was attached to close it.

This is the part a calculator cannot tell you. In 7 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, and 7 of those 7 times it was the Chase Claypool 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 Mike Evans as the more valuable of the two.

Read each row as: Chase Claypool, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Mike Evans 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 Chase Claypool; positive means that side came out ahead.

The whole-deal margin

Across all 22, the whole-deal value gap runs -20.9% from the side that received Chase Claypool, so the side ending up with Mike Evans 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 Chase Claypool for Mike Evans 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 22 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
