Darren Waller and Mike Gesicki have been on opposite sides of 21 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.
There is no deal here where only one side had to sweeten, so nothing on this page says which of the two the market rates higher.
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 Darren Waller prices at 8 and Mike Gesicki at 8, so the market currently rates Darren Waller about 1.0x 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: Darren Waller, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Mike Gesicki 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 Darren Waller; positive means that side came out ahead.
Across all 21, the whole-deal value gap runs +8.4% from the side that received Darren Waller, so the side ending up with Darren Waller has generally come out ahead on face value. That measures the entire trade, every piece included, not these two players against each other.
A calculator answers “is Darren Waller for Mike Gesicki 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 21 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
