Is Cooper Kupp for Jaylen Waddle fair?

Most of those were larger deals with other pieces attached. 2 of them were straight up: Cooper Kupp for Jaylen Waddle, nothing else changing hands.

In 3 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, split 0 to 3 between the Cooper Kupp side and the Jaylen Waddle side. That is too close, and too small a sample, to call either player the more valuable.

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 Cooper Kupp prices at 17 and Jaylen Waddle at 4,624, so the market currently rates Jaylen Waddle about 272.0x 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.

Read each row as: Cooper Kupp, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Jaylen Waddle 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 Cooper Kupp; positive means that side came out ahead.

The whole-deal margin

Across all 26, the whole-deal value gap runs -16.0% from the side that received Cooper Kupp, so the side ending up with Jaylen Waddle 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 Cooper Kupp for Jaylen Waddle 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 26 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
