Worth asking
Send James Cook III to .. (@TheTyGuy) for Brandin Cooks and Jonathan Taylor.
Why this one: This is a one-year league, so the ranking is about what a deal does to your lineup rather than what an asset holds for later. .. (@TheTyGuy) are chasing this season, so what they can spare is the depth behind their starters. Your lineup is short at WR, about 2.7 points a week behind, and this deal lands there.
You get
Brandin CooksWide receiver, SF. value 622, 0.5 pts/wk, age 33.1
Jonathan TaylorRunning back, IND. value 7,322, 21.0 pts/wk, age 27.8
Total value 7,944
You send

- Value gap
- Value gap between the two sides: 5 percent
Your starting lineup gains +4.1 points a week at WR. You come out 401 points of trade value ahead.
.. (@TheTyGuy) reads as a bubble team chasing this season, so the case has to be the value. They take on 401 points less value than they send.
Worth knowing
- You take back 1 more player than you send, so you may need to drop somebody.
The message
What do you think of me sending you James Cook III, and you sending back Brandin Cooks and Jonathan Taylor? On value it is close to even both ways.
