Ezekiel Elliott and Javonte Williams 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.
In 2 of these deals exactly one side had to attach something extra, split 1 to 1 between the Ezekiel Elliott side and the Javonte Williams side. That is too close, and too small a sample, to call either player the more valuable.

Read each row as: Ezekiel Elliott, plus anything in the third column, was traded for Javonte Williams 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 Ezekiel Elliott; positive means that side came out ahead.
Across all 21, the whole-deal value gap runs -17.1% from the side that received Ezekiel Elliott, so the side ending up with Javonte Williams 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 Ezekiel Elliott for Javonte Williams 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.
