Dalvin Cook and Jonathan Taylor have been on opposite sides of 27 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: Dalvin Cook for Jonathan Taylor, nothing else changing hands.
This is the part a calculator cannot tell you. In 6 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, and 4 of those 6 times it was the Dalvin Cook side (2 the other way). The side that keeps having to add is the side holding the lesser asset, so the market has been treating Jonathan Taylor as the more valuable of the two.

Read each row as: Dalvin Cook, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Jonathan Taylor 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 Dalvin Cook; positive means that side came out ahead.
Across all 27, the whole-deal value gap runs -1.7% from the side that received Dalvin Cook - close to even. Read that as a measure of the entire trade, every piece included, not of these two players against each other.
A calculator answers “is Dalvin Cook for Jonathan Taylor 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 27 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
