Byron Lambert’s Week 6 TRADECAST

Byron Lambert returns with the epic RosterWatch TRADECAST for Week 6 in fantasy football. He’ll help you — through classic game theory and a deep understanding of fantasy market values — to identify which players you should be targeting in trades, as well as which players you should be selling.

You can support the RosterWatch podcast – and get access to bonus podcasts featuring Alex Dunlap, Byron Lambert, the Trashman and other great guests in-season – with a PRO membership at RosterWatch.com.

It is entirely due to listeners like you that this is all possible and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    10 team 3 wr standard league

    RB: Kamara, Fournette, Jacobs, Hyde, Coleman

    WR: Julio, Desean Jackson, Curtis Samuel, Landry, Dorsett

    Would you guys trade Jacobs and Landry for Devante Adams or Keenan Allen?
    feel like I could use some WR help but also feel like I could have 3 running backs that finish the season in the top 10 of their position

    1. ↓ Post By drew.g.summitt@wmich.edu

      I also have AJ green and frank gore

    2. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Definitely need WR help but I would be hesitant to trade Jacobs as Hyde just has no upside and Coleman can’t stay on the field and is in a time share.

      I’d try to trade Coleman and Landry. Sure you won’t get a Keenan Allen caliber WR with that (you could try at least) but you will be able to get a good WR.

    Shhhhheeeeeeit
    I dunno

    In a vacuum i would
    But u know one of them backs will miss time.

    So u cant start 3 rbs ever?

    Maybe id move LF since his bye is forth coming
    And he should be worth more.
    So maybe u get a startable rb back in that pkg.. ?

    1. ↓ Post By drew.g.summitt@wmich.edu

      I start all 3 of them because its 3 wr 2 rb 1 flex im looking at Coleman as a low end RB2 SF runs the shit outta the ball and they are effective doing it so if I moved Jacobs or Fournette I was hoping to get a WR1 straight up just wasn’t sure if it would be better to start Coleman in my flex with another stud WR next to Julio or be starting a mediocre WR and have Jacobs in my flex. Trashman, Alex, Byron any ideas if you see this?

    4 -1 in a 12 team standard, not sure if I’m thinking this out like dfs too much but would me trading away Fuller for Jeffery to go with my QB wentz be a good trade?
    I have Kupp, Godwin and Boyd as well.

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      I would not do that. You want to max the trade value on Fuller. Maybe you can package him with another player and go for someone who is grossly underperforming like OBJ or try for Keenan Allen or Mike Evans coming off of terrible games.

      1. ↓ Post By One Alpha

        Thank you

      2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Totally agree- thanks Gutsman

    1 point ppr
    5-0
    Was offered David Johnson and Chase Edmonds for Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman

    My other running backs are Chubb Bell Chris Thompson

    Mind you I traded John Ross for Freeman straight up the week before Ross was hurt and picked Coleman up when someone dropped him for a defense last week not like all that matters but for 2 players I didnt have to begin with to turn them into the ability to roll out chubb bell and dj also I have Kareem Hunt on IR since we can stash suspended players

    Current team is

    Matt Ryan
    Chubb
    Bell
    Kupp
    Edelman
    Golladay
    Ertz
    Freeman
    Tucker
    Chargers (I stream dst)

    Bench
    Sutton
    Thompson
    Gallup
    A. Tate
    Mark Andrews
    Stafford
    Coleman
    Vikings
    IR
    AJ Green
    Kareem Hunt

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      I want to say do the deal,but if you do,you will basically have zero depth behind those 3 RBs. Edmonds is still a cuff and Thompson is just a WR who lines up in the backfield.

      I would try to rework the deal to where you give up 1 RB and 1 WR instead,like Freeman or Coleman and Sutton for DJ.

  5. ↓ Post By fasttimes

    guy in my league who has Bell wants josh jacobs. im not knee on trading position for position like that, but noticed yall saying you though Ball was about to start having some big games. is Bell the better RB for ROY over jacobs, or nah?

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Bell has some really gravy matchups coming up.

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I would def take Bell for Jacobs in any .5 or full point ppr format- and probably still even so in STD

  6. ↓ Post By cyee943077

    Trade thoughts please:

    Sutton and T. Coleman for Josh Jacob’s. I get Jacobs.

    I have Evan’s, Adam’s already. David johnson, Breida and Hyde. Need another RB.

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Love that deal! Do it!

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Head is in right place since you own Breida and he and Coleman are stand alone players — doesn’t make too much sense to roster both if you can use one to upgrade your starting roster elsewhere.

      However, I think you can get more. If the deal is done– we like Jacobs a lot — and urge you to work the waiver wire hard to replace the value you gave up in Coleman and Sutton. If you got Jacobs- you may try to trade Hyde or Breida sooner than later in a deal to upgrade your starting lineup as well

      1. ↓ Post By cyee943077

        Byron, Breida for Diggs? or do you think I need to offer more.

  7. ↓ Post By Gtb275

    Was offered Rodgers and Shady for Mack and MVS. I have Goff currently and also David Johnson, Cook, Kerryon, and Coleman as other RBs. Does Rodgers get back on track enough to make this move?

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      I would not do that deal. Shady will fade and you don’t need to trade for a QB.

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      God no! You guys quit over-paying for QBs!!!!!!!

      Shady was on the sell list last wk and then shit bed! We don’t him back this wk!!!

  8. ↓ Post By Flying Toilet

    Someone dropped Robby Anderson during the waiver period. Given that Darnold is coming back, I have the top waiver priority, and the Jets are going on an 8 week cupcake schedule,. Is Robby a player worth pulling that trigger on? Or gamble and wait until he clears his waiver period?

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Depends on what your WR situation looks like. If you need help,sure.

  9. ↓ Post By bburkhart00@gmail.com

    I need a flex this week. Sending Allen Robinson to receive Diggs. Thoughts on ROS?

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Like Diggs a little better as I like his QB situation and schedule more .

    Greetings Rosterwatch Nation! In a bit of a mess this week as I just picked up Herndon after someone dropped him and now he’s hurt. I’ve been streaming the te position all season and I’m looking to pick up Noah fant this week but I got to get rid of one of the following for the week.
    Buffalo D
    C. Herndon
    C. Sutton
    T. McLaurin
    Or c. kirk

    1. ↓ Post By gutsman004

      Easy,Buffalo D.

  11. ↓ Post By mikemeyer10@yahoo.com

    Ok. My Dak, Devin Singletary, Ju Ju and OJ Howard for Saquon, Duke Johnson, Hunter Henry and Josh Allen. Remainder of my team is ARod, Cam, Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Hyde, Darrel Henderson, Julio, Davante, Fitz and Hollywood.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      That’s to cockamamie to read through- Please make it easy and give me the net fall out. Where are you improving significantly? What of meaningful value are you giving up? Who is getting the best player? Who are the principal players in the deal?

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        *too

    2. ↓ Post By mikemeyer10@yahoo.com

      Byron what say you??

      1. ↓ Post By mikemeyer10@yahoo.com

        I’m gaining Saquon Barkley, Hunter Henry, Duke Johnson, and Josh Allen, giving up ARod, Ju Ju, OJ Howard and Devin Singletary. The rest of my roster is in the original comment.

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Sounds amazing- congrats on Barkley

  12. ↓ Post By mikeswsa@outlook.com

    1 pt ppr… do I go with Freeman, or play Mitchel tonight in my flex?

    1. ↓ Post By mikeswsa@outlook.com

      Ugh sorry met Michel (not mitchel)!

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Wait to check rankings later – probably DF in PPR

  13. ↓ Post By mikeswsa@outlook.com

    Nobody in my cockamamie league will entertain trades or offer trades. It’s been like that for the 12 years i’ve been in this league!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Jesus, those dudes wives are prob bored as hell in bed!! Same tired old moves! Time to join a new league!

      1. ↓ Post By mikeswsa@outlook.com

        I dominate this league (been in playoffs 9 of 12 years) thanks to the epic cheat sheet… so i’m staying!

          Haha

  14. ↓ Post By bertimusgordon@att.net

    Chark and kerryon for sanu and Mack? I don’t start chark at the moment..

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Love the spirit here! All you need is an avatar!!!! No – wait for a better deal. Try to do a 2 for 1. You don’t want some shitbird back like Sanu– those are the guys we want to ship out!!! Find a bigger upgrade over KJ than MM if you are set on improving your starting RB

    2. ↓ Post By bertimusgordon@att.net

      Current rbs-kerryon, bell, Hyde, dam. Williams, white.
      Current WRs- D Hop,Godwin, Boyd, a rob, chark

  15. ↓ Post By gurpindersdeol@gmail.com

    Great podcast as always, thank you for all the insight. 2 questions.

    1. In standard someone just dropped Robby Anderson. Should I drop Preston Williams and if so how much would you recommend spending on him? Other WRs are Keenan Allen, Tyler Lockett, Allen Robinson, courtland Sutton, Curtis Samuel.

    2. In PPR, my RBs are Alvin kamara, Leonard fournette, Chris Carson, tevin Coleman, Alexander Mattison. Would you do a Carson and Coleman for Bell? I will never play Coleman, and Bell is an upgrade to Carson.

    Thank you RosterWatch.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Such a close all– if you are a winning team that doesn’t need Anderson now- I might do that. Maybe even drop Samuel. Hate to drop either, though.

      Really best idea is do a 2:1 trade to clear a roster spot — then pick up Anderson. You could drop your kicker in the meantime if you aren’t sure- then work the rest of the week to make a trade and clear a spot to pick a kicker back up– That’s your best bet

      Also– Anderson could have another bad wk or two and may hang out on your wire or trade market. Would def be nice to get him now if possible—

      Prob bid 15-25%

      1. ↓ Post By gurpindersdeol@gmail.com

        I don’t see myself playing Preston over Sutton this week anyways, at least according to the rankings on the site, but I will see if I can get a 2 for 1 going. What do you think about the 2 for 1 I mentioned above for Bell?

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          The move above would be fine if we were closer to fantasy playoffs and were all in on our starting lineups— this early in season Carson + Tevin is prob too much for Bell alone. Is there another buy low on his roster he can send back in addition to Bell to even things out?

          1. Post By Byron Lambert

            Full PPR does make this a little closer – but still- I love the idea- but think you can do a little better. If not– it’s going to be close call that could go either way— in that case follow your gut– keep or acquire the players you want to own!

  16. ↓ Post By freebird

    10 team, standard and have DST=Chargers. The Bills were dropped due to their bye week> Which team is better ROS?

    I like Buffalo’s match ups and can hold both for at least this week but would probably need to drop LAC next week.

  17. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    Then pick up hold both and play LAC in a monster matchup this wk— make the decision later. If you can only hold one– hold the one you need to win this wk

    1. ↓ Post By freebird

      Thanks Byron. Enjoyed the podcast.

  18. ↓ Post By cyee943077

    Byron replying in your suggestion to offload Breida and Hyde to replace Sutton.
    Would you do Breida for Diggs? or do you think I need to offer more. He is 1-4 and has Lockett, Landry, Sanu, Diggs, Mixon.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      That’s a fine trade if you need a WR. Would love to get Lockett. If it’s a flex play you are trading for— prob more interested in Mixon than Diggs depending on cost differential

      1. ↓ Post By cyee943077

        Offer Breida and Hyde for Mizon? I also got Kirk and Crowder. Breida and Kirk for Lockett?

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          I like both of those — depends on if you need a WR or a RB.

          Can you do Breida and Kirk for one and Hyde + Crowder for another?

  19. ↓ Post By DARTH DEBA

    PPR – giving up Keenan Allen to get Alvin Kamara? Yes or no?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Oh HELL YEAH

  20. ↓ Post By Ziggy

    Chris Carson + Watkins for Fournette. I would be receiving Fournette. The only issue is I’m playing the owner I would be trading with this week and it is a must win week.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      That’s a fine trade- if you are in a must win this wk- default to whichever side of that trade gives you the best start lineup this wk per the rankings. Head is in the right place!

  21. ↓ Post By Talltannleggy

    16 team PPR. I have RB issues and got offered Damien Williams for Allen Robinson. Thoughts? Or should I offer up thielen for fournette? I have Adams, Thomas, thielen, Robinson, Westbrook.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      AT for LF would be awesome!

  22. ↓ Post By chelomendez99@gmail.com

    I’m currently 4-1, looking to upgrade my WR corps:

    QBs: Mahomes, Murray
    RBs: Bell, Henry
    WRs: Evans, Samuel, Kirk, John Brown, Preston Williams
    TEs: Howard, Henry

    Should I try and move Mahomes for a top-tier WR?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Don’t think so- not at 4-1- PM is a top player in all of fantasy

      Unfortunately you don’t really have any sell highs rn

      Don’t really want those other 4 wr on bench every wk- prob wait for their value to go up then consolidate

      NOW- I Don’t see an RB3 or Flex here. If you can play one- then I would trade PM for a top notch WR and rock solid flex- throw in one of your low end wr or backup te in return to balance if necessary

      1. ↓ Post By chelomendez99@gmail.com

        Great advice as always, thanks Byron!

        UPDATE: I was just offered Damien Williams and DJ Chark for Bell, should I do it?

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Hell no- keep Bell! Somebody else was listening to TradeCast!

  23. ↓ Post By jmespel@yahoo.com

    Would you trade Ingram, Waller, and McLaurin to get Lev Bell and Kittle? I also have Conner, Mel Gordon and Josh Jacobs at RB and looking to upgrade RB, TE.

  24. ↓ Post By Kondo

    Byron- Thank you for another epic Tradecast!
    I gotta tell you that I got hyped while listening because I took your advice from two weeks ago and made a combo deal last week and packaged Allen Robinson in a deal that brought me back this week’s big fish! (It was actually a 4 for 3 so that I could get back my beloved Bears D)
    All in I sent ARob, Jags D, Darell Williams and Kirk and got back Bell, Dionte Johnson and The Bears.

    My quandry is that I’m 2-3 and left myself pretty thin at WR. Any suggestions for packages that I could shop to possibly net me a true WR1 would be much appreciated.
    Current Squad (14 team PPR):
    QB: Murry, Winston
    RB: Kamara, Bell, Damien Williams, Gore
    WR: Lockett, Samuel, P. Williams, Johnson
    TE: Kittle, Herndon

    Keep up the stellar work!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Hells to F Yes, Kondo! Nice work! That’s my guy!

      FYI- That is a really nice 14 tm squad- esp w/ those RBs- think you’re about to go on a nice run- those WR plenty serviceable IMO for now

      Not seeing a ton of trade value to make a move- maybe in 14 tm QB is thin and / or someone having a must win bye wk issue- maybe ship them a QB and/or TE depending on what they need(unfortunately Herndon hurt and we want to keep Kittle) could throw in Gore , Johnson, maybe Samuel on top for the right guy if you have to. Target a team in a must win- see if there is something mutually beneficial – otherwise I think you wait for a more opportune time

    In a PPR superflex league, would you make a move for OBJ by giving up a combo of Woods/Juju & Hollywood Brown/DJax? I have a very deep team and feel that I need a top end player to minimize start/sit decisions.

    Byron – PRO member for years and thank you as always for the TRADECAST!!

    10 Man PPR League: Based on the Podcast my two “sell” players are Chris Carson and Allen Robinson. I want to package both in a trade but have been finding it difficult to a) find the right 2 for 1 trade and b) if I should even move Carson without receiving an RB back. Goal is to improve WR as I only have TY/Allen Rob/Sutton/Kirk (drafted AB).

    Any suggestions Byron means a lot – thanks again!!

    Hey guys love the content as always and the pro membership… do you think Carlos hyde and Greg Olsen is a good offer for hooper?? Guy offered me DJax for my hyde. I declined. He has no RB2 to start this week but he has kelce, and Hooper on the bench.. I have Olsen and just picked up Everett.. so i thought this deal would help both of us unlike the cockamamie Djax trade that only helps him. Also please repost instructions for acquiring an avatar.
