Most of those were larger deals with other pieces attached. 1 of them were straight up: David Montgomery for Leonard Fournette, nothing else changing hands.

In 3 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, split 2 to 1 between the David Montgomery side and the Leonard Fournette side. That is too close, and too small a sample, to call either player the more valuable.

Read each row as: David Montgomery, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Leonard Fournette 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 David Montgomery; positive means that side came out ahead.

The whole-deal margin

Across all 20, the whole-deal value gap runs +8.4% from the side that received David Montgomery, so the side ending up with David Montgomery 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 David Montgomery for Leonard Fournette 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.
