    Im currently 6-1 but I’m thin at RB, I’m trying to acquire Tracy because I think he may be a valuable asset later down the road so I’m offering McMillen who I just picked up from waivers.. What do you guys think..
    My team Geno, Stroud, Gibbs, Mixon, J Chase, London, BTJ, Orton, Pitts, JSN, D Smith, Waddle

      And Warren.. Thanks WR.

        That’s fine if you have a hunch on Tracy

    Hey guys – could really use your assistance on a few questions:

    1) do I start Cook, Jacobs and Gibbs over Kamara? Any reason we won’t see a repeat of last week for Kamara?
    2) do I start Hopkins over Worthy and Lockett?
    3) would you drop Jamison Williams for Jalen McMillan

    Thank you

      1. Those are AMAZING options. I lean yes. Double check the matchup tool for any major disparity obv AK could still be very good play any given wk

      2. I’d probably play him over Lockett

      3. I don’t think so

      1. ↓ Post By Incognito

        Thanks – are you suggesting worthy over hopkins?

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          No DK Metcalf- I’d probably pivot to Lockett now

    Hey! 0.5 PPR

    QB: Allen
    RBs: Dobbins, Conner, B Robinson JR, Hubbard, Dowdle, Javonte Williams
    WRs: Adams, Deebo, McMillan
    TEs: Ferguson, Njoku

    I’ve basically turned CMC into Robinson and Dowdle, and Godwin & Smith into Dobbins & Adams over the last couple of weeks (not sure if I won those trades lol).

    Anyways, I need to consolidate this week to grab a DST. Any recommendations? Thinking about selling Hubbard and Williams. Thanks!

      I actually think it’s really cool you made those trades- and did pretty well. Brian Robinson has been the model of consistency + Dowdle still has some upside and is at minimum a flex. We hate the injury to Godwin but offloading him worked out for you- Dobbins has faded but is still a decent play with upside any given wk- Adams has potential and is at minimum a solid WR2

      Yes- I think you should move Javonte for good defense , and maybe Hubbard for another WR

    12tm PPR (4-3)

    QB: Darnold
    RB: Hall, Henry (B. Allen, Brooks)
    WR: Waddle, JSN (Evans, Odunze, Tillman)
    TE: T. Kraft (Hockenson)
    W/R/T: Javonte Williams, Dowdle
    DEF: Broncos
    IR: Pacheco
    Bench: (6 spots)

    Evans just went down, and based on Byron’s latest report, I know I can “sell” Javonte Williams. I’m looking for advice on realistic trade targets to help upgrade my WR spot. Any ideas for trades or moves that would fit my situation?

    Also for context this trade just went down in my league today: Kyren Williams for Garrett Wilson + McMillan…

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Find the person the accepted Wilson and McMillan for Kyren and target that reckless owner!

  5. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    I would target every WR on the list above Mike Evans – and maybe also sniff around Deebo

  6. ↓ Post By Chris Smith

    Hey Bryon.12 man, full PPR. 1-6 currently.
    Starts Mahomes, Lamb, Worthy, Dowdle, Braelon, Kincaid, Ridley and Tolbert
    Bench is Wicks, McCaffrey, J Williams, Legette, McMillan, Tua, J Brooks.
    Thinking about trading off McCaffrey to stay in the league. Any way to avoid it at this point? Any trade suggestions? Thanks.

      Good thinking and with the CMC return news heating up you should get a nice haul!

      Aim for two really good players from the buy list above- locate a winning team with a few of those guys. Make sure their matchups / bye weeks are a good match for your starting lineup this wk and next- your entire world is quality of your starting lineup and winning this week

    Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams owner here. Received an offer of Adams for Burrow. Would you do that trade given current QB is A Richardson and Mariota and Wilson are about it for the waiver wire?

  8. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

    Lost ayiuk.. would you trade Chubb or Rico for Ladd or Coleman

    I currently have Barkley Chubb Gibbs and Rico

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      You can do better but you have the right idea

  9. ↓ Post By rcashen29@gmail.com

    would you trade away garret wilson for pollard? or chubb (with a sweetner)?

    we start 2 rbs 3 wrs and a flex (which can be te too I have mcbride and kraft)

    my rbs are hunt, j. gibbs, j. brooks (when?), and warren

    My wrs are mclaurin, g wilson, kupp, waddle , mcmillan and london so I have some very good depth there.

    thanks for your help and please adviSe!!

      Fair deal if it helps balance your starting lineup-

  10. ↓ Post By renourka

    Thanks for the response, Byron! I’m still working on options. Right now, the only negotiation I have is with a 3-4 team, who’s offering Etienne and Olave for my Javonte Williams and Evans. He also said he’d consider Javonte + Evans or Pacheco or JSN for Etienne and Olave. I don’t think DeVonta Smith is likely to be included?

    Given my current lineup, which trade offer would you recommend pursuing, if any? Or should I hold out for a different offer? I’m still hoping to try Javonte straight up for Marv but that ownwer is a clown!

    Here’s my team again:

    QB: Darnold
    RB: Hall, Henry (B. Allen, Brooks*)
    WR: Waddle, JSN (Evans*, Odunze, Tillman)
    TE: Kraft (Hockenson*)
    Flex: Javonte Williams, Dowdle
    DEF: Broncos
    IR: Pacheco*
    (Bench: 6 spots)

    I don’t like those offers-
