What he's worth in a trade

SF TE+

Real trades · 90 in the last year · 79 in dynasty Superflex leagues

The last 90 days of the sample, dynasty leagues: 28 trades, 25 Superflex or 2QB and 3 one-QB, 18 with a TE premium. Every trade with him, by format →

Real trades are mixed on him

In 6 SF TE+ trades since September where he went alone, what changed hands came to about 0.76× his value here (the middle half of them 0.63× to 1.03×): no clear lean either way.

What managers actually gave for T.J. in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, leagues like SF TE+ 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. 5 of them look lopsided at today's values (an injury or a role change since often explains it); none is left out.
