    12-team – 0.5 PPR – 0-3

    QB: Mahomes
    WR: Jefferson
    WR: Sutton
    RB: Kamara
    RB: Sanders
    TE: Andrews
    FLEX: Beckham

    Bench: Hubbard, Pittman, Hollywood, Rondale

    I have just been offered Swift, Ridley and Edmonds for Kamara and Sutton. I’m leaning towards pulling the trigger. What would you guys do?

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Nope

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I actually don’t like it. Say Swift and Kamara cancel each other out. They’re performing about the same right now. Then it’s Ridley for Sutton, Sutton is on a much better offense and is more of a red-zone threat, and then you have Edmonds who you would have to flex. He’s averaging about 11 points a game and no TDs. They don’t use him on the goal line. ODB put up 11 points in his first game back. I don’t think the move improves your starting roster. You want to consolidate, not add more variables. I’d try to trade Hubbard to the McCaffrey owner or combine two or more of your wrs to get a premier wr.

      I woud do it- sorry this is one time I disagree w/ Frank Grimes. Main thing is you need a win this wk, so make sure you like the incoming matchups

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Reason why- these guys don’t mention- Sanders is underperforming- so Edmonds could be useful as RB2 or another Flex option- or allows you to start both Edmonds and Sanders if they heat up. Or, gives you better flex options, none of those guys are weekly locks currently. Also, this will help you be competitive through the bye weeks and any injuries that arise-you cannot afford to lose during those type of weeks anymore. It also gives you more trade ammo for next wk and beyond. I lean yes here

        1. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

          I have exactly the same mentality. Truly believe Edmonds and Swift can emerge even more throughout the sun, plus it never hurts having more options to consolidate in the near future.

          Thanks to everyone!

    Fuck yes!

    LFG! I’m 0-3 and feeling the urgency to get a win. I’m trying to shop Tee Higgins to get a good flex play this week and potentially add some depth. Would you guys do Tee Higgins for AB & Sanders?

    If not, who should I target with Tee Higgins?

      1. ↓ Post By Ziggy

        Emmanuel.

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Don’t think so.

  4. ↓ Post By R A

    Yes!! Listening to this first thing in the morning in my commute.

    Sorry if these guys are touched on in the pod, but give me your thoughts in this. 12 team full PPR, start QB, WR, RB, and 3 Flex.

    I’m all about the stacks. I offered Chark and Aiyuk for Waller and they countered with Henderson for Waller. Take it?

    QB: Carr, Tannehill
    RB: Cook, Chubb, Hendo, Javonte
    WR: AJB, Allen, Sutton, Pittman, Aiyuk, Chark

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Yes, you can afford to lose hendo

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Depends to some extent on your current TE, but assuming it’s a wall flower- then I think you can go either way and tend to agree yes w/ Trashman here. Best option would be keep Hendo, counter with your current TE + Javonte – or a Pittman / Aiyuk type

      1. ↓ Post By R A

        Thanks to both for your input!

        We don’t start a TE. We start QB, RB, WR, and 3 flex. The stud TEs like Kelce, Waller, and Kittle when he’s rolling are typically starters at flex.

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          In that case I’d rather see you give up a solid receiver- or maybe a lesser WR + Javonte –

  5. ↓ Post By bdenn2

    I’m being offered Noah Fant and Kenny Golladay for Tyler Higbee. PPR. 12 team. Thoughts?

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      If you need a WR, I think that’s a fine deal Want might be an upgrade over Higbee on his own.

  6. ↓ Post By Incognito

    Have to decide between chase or gibson. Does higgins absence tonight help or hurt Chase? Both have decent matchups. what do you think? thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Two terrific options this wk- really like Chase tonight- but based on volume I think you have to lean Gibson. Maybe in full pt PPR you go w/ Chase. Other formats you roll w/ Gibson

  7. ↓ Post By Cody Caudill

    Just traded Gaskin and Chark and getting Jonathan Taylor.

    Pretty happy to get Taylor, I have Kamara also

  8. ↓ Post By Srogerss90@hotmail.com

    Need 1 ppr
    Tyler Boyd
    James Robinson
    Damian Harris
    Devonta Smith

    I am the CMC owner, the team that grabbed Chuba off waivers is the Zeke owner they are 0-3 so has had #1 priority last 3 weeks (hate that waiver setup). I have Pollard that I picked up at end of the draft. They have Zeke, Gordon and Hunt in their starting lineup and Chuba on their bench. Do you think offering Pollard straight up for Chuba would be a good trade or do you think I add more in the trade? Really need help at RB I also had Gus Edwards so very thin at RB.

  10. ↓ Post By Don Fanucci

    trade proposal

    I give Antonio Gibson and Mike Giseki,

    I get Robert Woods and Melvin Gordon.

    I already own Javonte Williams.

    What do you think?

  11. ↓ Post By Chief58

    PPR. Not a Cook owner but I have Madison. Would you trade Madison for Sermon?

    Thanks

  12. ↓ Post By Aliveagain

    10 – Team Full PPR – 3-0

    QB: Hurts
    WR: T. Hill
    WR: M. Evans
    RB: CEH
    RB: N. Harris
    TE: Higbee
    FLEX: McLaurin

    Bench: Julio, J. Chase, Zack Moss, E. Saunders, Ruggs

    I offered N. Harris and Sanders for D. Henry. He countered with Henry for N. Harris and M. Evans. I want to accept it.

    Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Aliveagain

      Edited to add: This is a dynasty league, you keep the two players from your roster. I have K. Hunt on my bench as well.

      1. ↓ Post By Tb44710

        I’d take that.

    2. ↓ Post By Ani Sridhar

      Absolutely make this deal. You’re going to win the title after this trade, I guarantee it.

  13. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

    Still can’t believe that trade cast is free , that helped me find you guys. Yous guys are the best , thanks for everything

  14. ↓ Post By apkelley47@gmail.com

    Need help – 0.5 PPR do I trade Zeke + AB for Jonathan Taylor and Calvin Ridley?

    I also have:
    Kyler
    Gibson
    JRobinson
    Justin Jefferson
    Tee Higgins
    Kyle Pitts

    Thoughts?? Good time to sell high on two and buy low on two big timers.

    1. ↓ Post By Ani Sridhar

      I like the deal. Don’t like having 2 Passing options from the same team in Ridley and Pitts but I think Taylor is going to bust out starting this week.

  15. ↓ Post By pqd73@yahoo.com

    In a 3 wr league. Help me pick one rest of season. Dj chark, jarvis landry or curtis samuel? Dont need any of them now, just trying to build some depth on my roster.

  17. ↓ Post By robbiemiller@bensoncdj.com

    Btw… it’s a 3 WR league, 1 flex, full point ppr

  18. ↓ Post By pqd73@yahoo.com

    Can we create a forum where we can get questions answered? So hard to find a spot to get help on roster. Asked my question here on tradecast yesterday and still not answered today. Not even sure if this is right place to post it.
