    10 team standard.

    Fournette or Carson in my flex? They’re close on the cheatsheet and I feel like Penny or Prosise might ruin the Carson party.

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      i guess after LF unfurled a throbber on everyone it would be silly to sit him

    Carson/Diggs for Kittle/Allen Robinson? I would be receiving Kittle/AR. My current TE is OJ Howard…

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      i think i may hold on to OJH to see how shit shakes out
      i much prefer diggs to robinson
      but it seems fair ( if kittle were playing the way he did last szn)

    Looking to trade for Kupp and have a lot of RB depth. Would be willing to part with either Kerryon or Mack, but would it be too much to toss in Chark or Curtis Samuel as well?

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      imho

      u shouldnt have to add to that deal
      the kupp owner should

      but kupp vs kerryon one for one seems fair atm

    2. ↓ Post By Gtb275

      What about for OBJ or Amari?

  4. ↓ Post By LukeTakesShip

    Ingram and Lockett for David Johnson in PPR, I’d be getting DJ. Seems like I might be giving up a little by too much, even though I’m 3-1

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      hold on to ingram and lockett for now lil homie

  5. ↓ Post By Trace17

    Trade proposed. Team name: Sisters of the poor. Record 2-2. 1 pt PPR.

    My Kerryon Johnson and Greg Olsen (I have zeke, Melvin, Freeman, Chubb, Waller and Andrews)

    His mike Evans and Jared Cook (I have Amari Cooper, Allen Robinson, ESanders, and Crowder as WR)

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      ok do it
      but u dont want cook – have him throw something better in
      or let me rephrase that – more useful

      now that kirk is out again maybe target a player like that – one who will correct himself but is depressed right now

    Can’t wait to listen to the tradecast. In the mean time, would love your help on 2 starting WRs (PPR): Edelman, Josh Gordon, MVS, Sutton, Crowder

    The rankings have Edelman/Gordon the highest, but should I really be starting WRs on the same team, esp the Pats whose game plan/touches are fairly unpredictable? Obviously I have to start Edelman, but just not sure if I should be thinking about other WRs over Gordon.

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      edelman is a lock
      like u said gordong would be my #2
      gb will have to be passing vs dak and the cowgirls
      but mvs is so hit and miss – though with adams out – i am thinkin he gets the lions share of targets
      i may lean mvs

      (sidebar – now could be a time to trade one of the two for a dude on another team ranked in the same area )

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Thank you Baron

  7. ↓ Post By Brian

    Devoured the tradecast last night and need some advice. (Also posted on the matchup post, so sorry for redundancy)

    My RBs: CMC, Kerryon, Mack, Shady, Miles Sanders and Melvin Gordon
    My WRs: Julio, JuJu, DJ Moore, MVS and Metcalf

    Would you trade RB talent to upgrade JuJu? Hold with current roster? Try to package for another RB1?

    10-team 0.5 PPR, am 4-0 and 2nd in Points For

    I ask because I received an offer that would move Gordon/JuJu for Hopkins/James White. So my WR’s would be secure, but my RB2 spot would be less rock-solid. I got the other guy to at least consider taking JuJu and another non-Melvin/CMC RB in a 2-for-1 for Hopkins, but that’s TBD.

    I guess the main question for me is: which is the more ideal scenario?

    1. ↓ Post By Brian

      Okay, owner is asking Marlon Mack (probably keepable for $10-15 next year) and JuJu ($28-34) for Hopkins (can’t be kept next year).

      Do I take that and run?

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        If you have the depth and are in it to win it this yr- I think that’s fine

        1. ↓ Post By Brian

          Appreciate it! Just accepted the deal, looking forward to elevating my WR depth from here on out

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes would do either- upgrade JuJu or another RB1- you have the right idea – JuJu Mack Shady Sanders maybe DJ Moore in play from ur roster

      You’ll just have to be opportunistic based on who is avail what u can pull of in ur league. If close balance your roster. No- don’t take that current offer- but I like where your head is at- you can do better- do a 2:1

  8. ↓ Post By Gtb275

    My PPR superflex league roster is Kupp, Woods, Juju, Godwin, Kerryon, Ertz, Engram, Marquis Brown.

    I feel that I need to package two of these players for a top end player to minimize start/sit stress. I have identified a struggling team with Hopkins or Adams, and was thinking about packaging Woods/Juju/Kerryon and Ertz/Engram/Brown. Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I like shipping out Woods and either JuJu or Engram

  9. ↓ Post By Pablackbird

    Mike Williams was dropped on last nights waivers. Would you drop any of: RPenny, McLaurin, Duke or CSamuel to pick him up? Thanks guys

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob Duke if I didn’t need the rb depth

  10. ↓ Post By Chad Westgerdes

    need help/ advice on who to start
    – 2 WR slots and 2 Flex slots

    Hopkins, Allen, Kupp, Watkins, Lockett, Boyd

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      nuke allen and kupp are locks
      i lean lockett

  11. ↓ Post By grh1988

    I have a mediocre running back conundrum.

    1/2 pt ppr start 3 (2 and flex)
    Michel
    Dev Freeman
    Breida
    Ronald Jones
    Frank Gore

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      michel is a lock – given the pats have another cupcake opponent this week
      d free of this bunch should be guaranteed more touches
      i go breida next
      then gore
      last is rjIII ( vs nawlins in the dome )

      1. ↓ Post By grh1988

        I appreciate the feedback! Hoping rjIII continues to shape up so I can either use him consistently or use him in a trade

  12. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

    Sit one. Can’t decide…
    Carson
    Bell
    Ekeler
    Fournette

    Alex thanks again for the Fournette DK call this week. Two weeks in row fat $$$!

  13. ↓ Post By DJ

    Need the highest upside this weekend for a 1-3 team: Auden Tate, Johnson (Pitt), Sanu, Allison, or Debo? All available on waivers, and can pick up 1. Thanks.

  14. ↓ Post By Incognito

    hello — would you bench Brandon Cooks in favor of Marquise Brown or MVS (assuming Adans is out)? thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      The rankings are updated- I wld follow those- great options this wk

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Play the matchup vegas game total and targets if u arnt sure- obv adjust MVS #s up in that eval no DA

  15. ↓ Post By "Dirty"(Shaunanigans1980)

    10 team standard
    Give jacobs and a fuller v or dorsett or robbie a type or a flash gordon still be reasonable?

    Get Ty freak

    I will still have zeke,bell,fournette and sander. Think i will be good on depth

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No Josh Jacobs most valuable player- keep him- if you have to trade you need two good players in return that fill clear cut needs for you now and in coming weeks

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Jacobs for TyFreak is fair, however that’s a fine deal if it improves ur starting lineup

        1. ↓ Post By "Dirty"(Shaunanigans1980)

          Awesome thanks much he ended up being a chicken lil anyway. I was deep at rb and wanted to be deep in talent at wr thats why i considered it

  16. ↓ Post By pbatts11

    Thanks for the trade cast Byron. I just got through it while not being productive at work at all. I didn’t hear a mention of Derrick Henry. What are your thoughts on him? Do i try to upgrade at QB or sit tight? My current team:

    QB: Danny Dimes, Cam
    RB: Fournette, D. Johnson, Henry, Chris Thompson
    WR: M. Thomas, Ridley, Landry, and Tate
    TE: Engram

    What package could i offer for some combo of these guys from Team A (Goff, Tyreek, Mixon, Golladay, James White) or Team B (Wentz, Ekeler, Julio, Mike Evans, Carson)?

    Team B actually proposed this: my Evan Engram and Danny Dimes for Jack Doyle and Carson Wentz. I rejected, but thinking of a counter.

    Thanks!

    Hi guys,

    .5 ppr league.
    I’m stuck between playing Russell tonight or Brady this weekend.

    Any suggestions?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i like brady’s matchup more, and the hawks are likely to run more.

  18. ↓ Post By J_Walking33

    Would you trade Carson and Godwin for Hopkins and Aj Green OR Carson and ARob for Josh Gordon? Which one do you guys like more? League is a full point PPR

    Hey guys, have a trade question. My team is as follows.
    QB: Wentz, Murray
    RB: CMC, Chubb, Jacobs, Malcolm Brown
    WR: Keenan, Godwin, Lockett, Hollywood, Boyd, Dj Moore
    TE: Ertz, Andrews
    Im looking to trade for Saquon and needing some input on what to offer. My initial thought was Jacobs and a WR or TE as a starting point. Or hold tight with roster as is?
