Is Dak Prescott for Lamar Jackson fair?

Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson have been on opposite sides of 59 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 12 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, and 12 of those 12 times it was the Dak Prescott 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 Lamar Jackson 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 Dak Prescott prices at 1,462 and Lamar Jackson at 4,824, so the market currently rates Lamar Jackson about 3.3x 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: Dak Prescott, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Lamar Jackson 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 Dak Prescott; positive means that side came out ahead.

The whole-deal margin

Across all 59, the whole-deal value gap runs -8.1% from the side that received Dak Prescott, so the side ending up with Lamar Jackson 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 Dak Prescott for Lamar Jackson 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 59 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
