James Cook dynasty trade value
James Cook (BUF) is the RB7 on the Smash Accept dynasty board, ranked 31 overall with a superflex trade value of 8,850.

James Cook in dynasty: value, format and fit
In a 1QB league he is worth 8,850, the same as superflex, because the format adjustment only moves quarterbacks. These are the numbers the dynasty trade calculator starts from; league size, scoring and consolidation logic adjust them for the trade in front of you.
The players closest to him in value are Jonathan Taylor (RB, 8,815), Kenneth Walker (RB, 8,698) and George Pickens (WR, 8,600). Inside that band, position and age decide the trade, not the raw number. A straight swap for George Pickens (WR) is -2.8% for the side receiving George Pickens (WR). A 2-for-1 that returns Parker Washington (WR) and 2026 2.02 is dead even on value before the consolidation bonus the calculator applies to the side getting James Cook.
