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 Clyde Edwards-Helaire prices at 1 and Josh Jacobs at 759, so the market currently rates Josh Jacobs about 759.0x 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 Clyde Edwards-Helaire for Josh Jacobs 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 20 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
