His projection (14.9 a game) doesn't clear a replacement-level quarterback yet, so his value is all upside: the chance he becomes more than that, which is real for a 29-year-old with his profile.

What managers actually gave for Sam in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like Dynasty 1QB first. Each shows the date and the league's settings; the price is what was agreed then, and the line under it is today's value, a different thing. Two-team trades of up to four pieces a side; none is left out for disagreeing with Swindlr. No league or manager names. 6 of them look lopsided at today's values (an injury or a role change since often explains it); none is left out.
