    Good morning,

    With the early covid bye week upon us I have Qs regarding the Steelers D.
    1 ) should I drop them for another – Packers, Seahawks, and Broncos are available.
    2) should i hold them and drop one of the following — Josh Kelley, Mattison or Tee higgins (I have Aaon Jones, Kamara and Mixon for starting RBs) also have A Gibson and Zack Moss on bench.
    Thanks

      Forget the Bronco”s they play tonight and we’re on FAAB.

      I’d try to hold Pitt DST, I think you can sneak A-Mat as a drop , then pick him back up next week. Hope Dalvin stays healthy! Could backfire, but its the play if you want to hold Pitt

    Morning y’all. Listened to the podcast last night, great episode!

    I’m currently in a tricky situation. 1-2 record, averaging 120 pts a game (4th in my league), but being scored on 136 (1st in my league), very unlucky!

    QB: Mahomes
    RBs: Kamara, Fournette, Gibson, Swift, Dobbins, RoJo
    WRs: Hopkins, Shenault, Ruggs*
    TE: Hooper

    *Currently waiting for a waiver for Marquise Brown

    Which two guys should I offer in order to have a chance to trade for one the buys (Drake & Johnson)? Or, which other players should I be targeting?

    1. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

      Forgot to mention it’s a 12 team, .5 PPR league.

      Thanks!

    2. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      You are pretty set at RB. I like the players you ave rostered. If somehow you can get Drake and offer the “TB backfield” I think that would be stealing.

      1. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

        Hey Alan, how about Gibson and Jones? Too much right?

    3. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

      I have been offered K. Drake and T. Hill for Kamara. Should I accept?

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Probably yes- but you have to be able to start both Drake and Hill without pushing another good player to your bench every wk.

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Looking at your roster above- I don’ t think I would do it if you get Marquise Brown off of waivers. In the case you don’t it does look like Hill would be a pretty big upgrade to your starting WR based on your roster above- while Drake would def be a starter as well and you still have some decent RB2-3 guys behind that.

          Best case is getting Hollywood or upgrading WR another way. I think keeping Kamara is paramount- but if you can’t get anything else done I think this deal prob does make sense for your currently, esp given Drake’s matchup this wk

          1. Post By Chelo Méndez

            The RW Pro membership is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you Byron & Alan for the great and insightful advice!

            I’m 90% sure that Brown is ending up in my team so I’ll be looking out for other WR upgrades for my team. Will let you guys know otherwise.

            Thanks again for the advice!

    Good Morning,

    I have these 3 on my bench:
    Duke Johnson, RB Texans
    DJ Chark, WR Jax
    J.K. Dobbins, RB Ravens.

    Would you drop any of them for Jeff Wilson and/or Brandon Aiyuk?

    Please and thank you.

    Mike

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes, I would drop Duke for Aiyuk, esp if I wasn’t a David Johnson owner and didn’t need or want the handcuff

  4. ↓ Post By michaelshawver@gmail.com

    Thanks for all the great advice!

    Got a trade offer, non-ppr: I’d get D Henderson and give up DK Metcalf.

    My other RBs: MG3, JJacobs, A Gibson, JK Dobbins. (Also have Lamar Jackson and Cam so ground yards with either QB)
    My other WRs: A Robinson, Diggs, Tyreek Hill, Gage

    He also has Mixon and might be able to buy low there.

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No way- I would offer Arob or Diggs max for Henderson. DK is a keep. I actually think Mixon would be the more equitable target- but who knows Henderson could easily be the better player the next 6 wk if things go his way. Nice work.

    I need 2 for FLEX PPR.
    Renfrow, Hurst, Kelley, Freeman, A Miller

    Thank you.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Renfrow and Miller or Hurst probably.

    2. ↓ Post By joejon3

      Update: I need 4 of…
      Renfrow, Hurst, Kelley, Freeman, A. Miller, Shenault

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        I’d probably sit Freeman and Kelley

  6. ↓ Post By shawnc90@vt.edu

    Got a trade offer. Looking to move Nick Chubb before later game scripts screw him.

    Chubb and amari cooper for davante adams and James Robinson

    2 RB 3 WR no flex league standard
    My roster:
    Rodgers
    Chubb, CEH, fornette, murray
    Cooper,godwin,parker,debo,watkins, and gage
    Waller

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Like where ur head is at but think I’d keep Amari and Chubb in this one. If he wants to give you Robinson plus another good player for Chubb I’d like that more. Or, if you can take Chubb + a guy and trade up for someone like Zeke

      1. ↓ Post By shawnc90@vt.edu

        What about Chubb and say Parker for Aaron Jones? Is that giving up too much seeing as how Godwin is out of my lineup for a few weeks?

  7. ↓ Post By Sfajacks211

    Would you trade DJ or Fournette and Lamb for Godwin? If so which would you prefer to punt on LF or DJ? Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Sfajacks211

      Ok now the deal is

      Give: Mixon Fournette Lamb
      Get: Drake Godwin

      Other RBs I have Ekeler, DJ, Swift
      Other WR Arob, Chark, Fuller

      Would you do it?

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yeah, I wld trade LF and Lamb for Godwin. It’s a little rich since Godwin is out 1-2 wk but ur head is in the right place and I like it if you can afford Godwin’s absence

    Alex, Byron, or Trashman –

    Great Tradecast and once again Byron’s dropping knowledge bombs! I love all the BUY ideas but my team doesn’t have any SELL guys mentioned so please help me make my first consolidation trade. I’ve identified a 1-2 team who might actually engage in trade talks but need some offer ideas to throw at him first to maybe go after Drake, Taylor or Mixon? Or if you see a better move, let me know! Thanks in advance!

    10 team Half-PPR
    1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 FLEX, 1 TE (6 Bench)

    QB: Stafford
    RB: Jacobs, Hunt (R. Jones, Montgomery, Gibson, Z. Moss)
    WR: Adams, Evans (John Brown, Ruggs)
    FLEX: Ridley
    TE: Kittle (J. Smith)
    IR: D. Samuel

    Other team (1-2)
    QB: Murray
    RB: Drake, Taylor (Mixon, Swift, White)
    WR: ARob, OBJ (Boyd, Jefferson)
    FLEX: K. Allen
    TE: Fant (Henry)

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Use guys like Hunt or esp Rojo w/ LF possibly out, as the principals in these offers

  9. ↓ Post By Eaglesphil

    Would you make this trade?

    10 team dynasty, non-PPR standard scoring
    Start: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, WR/RB, WR/TE

    I get OBJ, B. Cooks, 2021 1st (likely late 1st)

    My Roster:
    QB: D. Prescott, A. Rodgers

    WR: Keenan Allen, AJ Green, Jamison Crowder, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman, Golden Tate, Hunter Renfrow, DeSean Jackson, Russell Gage, B. Perriman

    RB: S. Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott, Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley, R. Penny, Devine Ozigbo, Chris Thompson, F. Gore, R. Bulkhead

    Need Input,

    12 Team, full point PPR. 0-3…(catching everyone’s blow up weeks so far)

    Have offer to trade away Robert Woods for Joe Mixon. Hopkins not practicing, OBJ is MIA, and needing a turnaround to start quickly. Thoughts?

    Rest of roster
    Drake/Edmonds
    A Gibson
    James White
    Jeff Wilson
    Ozigbo (IR)

    Hopkins
    Ceedee
    Corey Davis
    OBJ
    Cole Beasley

    Logan Thomas
    Schultz

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I think it’s fine as long as you plan to continue trying to replenish your wr in its post Robert woods era 🙂

      1. ↓ Post By Lonny5

        Haha. Thanks Byron.

        Now I also think I could work some magic and keep Woods but ship out obj (name value aside) for Myles Gaskins (MIA predraft tool top 3 rb season outlook…)-Devin Singletary-Ronald Jones-in that order.. Think that’s the first play?

  11. ↓ Post By Sanchez

    Hey RW, need some advice. Need to find replacement for Jonnu. (.5ppr);

    *GRONK vs LAC

    *D.SHULTZ vs CLE

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob Schultz

      1. ↓ Post By Sanchez

        Thank You

  12. ↓ Post By Ziggy

    I have Logan Thomas at TE but I’m worried about his upside/Haskins. I have a trade in my inbox right now where I would send CeeDee Lamb for Mike Gesicki. Is Gesicki an upgrade over Thomas? Should I do the trade? Just for reference my other WRs are Ridley, Kupp, Hollywood, and Aiyuk.

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      A lot of teams in your league are still trying to figure it out at TE. You will get there. Haskins may be benched mid game. Do not give away Lamb. Mike G is a reasonable trade offer, but it will be tougher to replace lamb than to stream TE ROS

    .5 PPR

    1-2, and have been struggling with WR2 and Flex

    Would you consider consolidating a Miles sanders into Singletary +Mclaurin deal and maybe try and get Akers or AJ Brown as a throw in? Or the other option I could see would be David Montgomery + DJ Moore? Any of those interesting or should I ride out and hope I can hit on some of these waiver gems / Deebo comes off IR for me?

    QB: Mahomes
    WR: Kupp
    WR: CeeDee Lamb
    RB: Drake
    RB: Sanders
    TE: Jonnu
    Flex: Gage

    Bench: Fournette, Edmonds, Damien Harris, Shenault, Josh Kelley, Tee Higgins

    IR: Deebo

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would not consider that, no. Keep working your wire for receiver value. Look out for guys like Hunter Renfrow this week, etc. who are in great situations.

  14. ↓ Post By ryanusc3

    Have Jared Cook at TE. Olsen is best option on waivers. Talking a trade with Ertz owner as he also has MAndrews. Any 2 for 1 packages from these guys: Ingram, Moss, RoJo, JBrown, Tate, Kelley, Laviska. He offered Ertz and Henderson for my Gurley and J Brown. Seems a little rich. Std league

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      why not try packaging one of those RBs with one of those WRs for one of those TEs?

  15. ↓ Post By csb01

    Standard league, I need 2 of these guys. Ronald Jones, Jeff Wilson, or Miles Gaskin. Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      can’t answer that until we know more about Fournette. I’d hold off and wait on that news. You don’t have to make the decision tonight.

    12 team, 0.5 PPR, 1.2 record

    Hey Byron! We had a conversation earlier today about a potential trade for my team. I’ve decided that I’m not trading Kamara for Hill & Drake. Instead, I’m thinking about trading Gibson for Edelman. Should I plug the trigger, regardless of me getting Brown or not tomorrow?

    Reminder of my team:

    QB: Mahomes
    RBs: Kamara, Fournette, Gibson, Swift, Dobbins, RoJo
    WRs: Hopkins, Shenault, Ruggs*
    TE: Hooper

    *Currently waiting for a waiver for Marquise Brown

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

      I got Hollywood! Should I go ahead with the Gibson for Edelman trade?

    My team
    Big Ben
    Evans

    Cmc
    David Montgomery
    Antonio Gibson
    Evan engram
    James white
    Lavishka
    Kerryon

    Wanted to trade for David Johnson like you recommended. Was thinking Godwin for DJ. Your thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      I like getting out of Godwin. I would float his name out there to see if you can get a better RB, but David Johnson is fine.

    Barkley owner needing RB help. 10-team PPR League
    I’m willing to trade Kittle for an RB.
    Looking at other rosters in my league, two options are weak at TE and strong at RB.
    Would you trade Kittle for J Taylor or Drake?

  19. ↓ Post By Buck_Nasty

    Hello RW! Should I trade Josh Allen for Jonathan Taylor in a standard keeper league ? I also have Dak so I’d be fine at qb. My other backs are chubb and carson. If i could also roll taylor at flex, could be $$$… should i do it?

  20. ↓ Post By Wyatt

    Should I trade james Robinson for dk metcalf .5 ppr
