If you are trading for James Cook, compare the full package rather than one player in isolation. A fair deal should make sense for your lineup. If you already have strong depth at RB, the same offer may be less useful than it would be for a roster with a clear positional need.

If you are trading away James Cook, make sure the return either improves your starting lineup, adds enough depth to solve multiple problems, or fits your dynasty direction. Package trades can be tricky because the side receiving the best individual player often gains a lineup advantage.
