    Team Name: La Flama Blanca
    Record: 4-3
    .5pt PPR: Trade away my Chase Edmonds and Gronk in return for his Travis Kelce? I do not own Drake. My other TE is Goedert in my IR spot. My other RBs are Dalvin Cook, Chris Carson, Darrell Henderson and Raheem Mostert.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yeah, I’d do that

        Thank You Byron! I was heavily leaning on accepting this trade. I can see Gronk and Goedert being top-7 TE plays ROS, but Kelce is TE1 and a 2nd round pick if we re-drafted today. It comes down to is Chase Edmonds a League-Winner? We can’t assume that when Drake comes back this isn’t a RBBC situation again with Kyler vulturing rushing TDs. Either way I accepted and got Kelce, so I won’t miss Gronk. Caught me a certified BIG FISH in exchange for to 2 guys I grabbed off the wire. Thanks again for all the content and clutch advise!

    Standard scoring. Someone dropped Ekeler. Do we know how much longer he is going to be out? Should I pick him up and stash him? I was thinking about dropping Matt Ryan. What do y’all think?
    QBs Herbert, Ryan
    RBs Cook, Jacobs, Hunt, Ronald Jones
    WR Ridley, Moore, Boyd, Diontae Johnson, Michael Thomas
    TE Waller.
    K Prater
    Def Steelers

      I would stash him if I could. He’s prob out another 3wk or so. It’s mainly a stash for the fantasy playoffs. You should try to trade Ryan + another player for one better player in return, so you aren’t wasting MR by dropping him and you are opening a roster sport for this pickup.

      If you can’t trade- drop your kicker to pick him up for now— make some decisions or maneuvers over next few days as more info comes in

    Need some help, standard league need 2 RB’s, and a flex. Ronald Jones, Boston Scott, Myles Gaskin, and Travis Fulgham. Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d probably play all 3 RBs – if Miles Sanders somehow plays- the easy pivot is from Scott to Fulgham

    Wanted to get you opinion on a potential trade:

    PPR

    Aaron Rogers for Myles Gaskin

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Only if I was absolutely desperate at RB in a must-win situation, and there was absolutely no other plausible way I could trade for Gaskin. AR is much more valuable than MG in a vacuum

    PPR 10 team. 1 Keeper kept in their draft round with a 10th round cutoff (so keeping a player drafted in the 12th counts as a 10th next year)

    Kyler

    AJones/Jamaal..Swift..JRob..Mixon..Scott..Gibson..Ingram..Edmonds

    ARob..JustinJeff..Higgins..AB

    Waller

    With JRobs keeper value in mind..send him and Edmonds for Hopkins?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yep

  6. ↓ Post By minionhunter

    My buddy has Carson and Mattison. I suggested he drop Mattison for Hyde but he’s worried about Mattison finally clicking if he drops him.

    He’s got Dobbins he can start, that’s a pretty good dart throw this week. I’m wondering if you have any thoughts.

    Thank you guys!

    1. ↓ Post By minionhunter

      He’s the top team in his league (he lost twice).

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      He should drop Mattison for Hyde if he owns Carson but does not own Dalvin

  7. ↓ Post By jrcs851315

    What do we do with Ceedee Lamb at this point? Couldn’t sell him, is he just a drop?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      You need to do what you need to do, but it would depend on who you are dropping him for. I love Ceedee too much to drop him for a total scrub, but the QB thing has definitely swindled him.

  8. ↓ Post By beni8790

    In a standard league, would you consider trading Hopkins, Miles Sanders for Chubb, Thielen and Bal D.?

    Other RBS: CMC, Gaskin, Dobbins, T. Coleman, D. Harris
    Other WRS: AJ Brow,. Robbie Anderson, Allen Robinson, Hollywood Brown

    If you don’t think that’s worth it, which players would you target via trade?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would never make a trade where some dude has to throw in a damn DST. Why not see if you can swindle him for CMC with Sanders + DHop for CMC + one of those WRs?

  9. ↓ Post By RWFan

    Drop jk dobbins or Gus Edwards. Need 1 to play. Must win game

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      It makes a lot of difference in the answer if or if not Mark Ingram is going to play. If he doesn’t go, I can’t in good conscience not want to play the much better prospect and player in Dobbins.

    Need some advice Byron-
    Pick 2 for lineup this week Full point PPR
    Cooper kupp, diontae Johnson, Aiyuk, or Darrell Henderson??

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      All great options, no bad answer here. I still like Kupp as a floor play with upside. You can combo that with Henderson who I think looks like their best RB. Risk of Malcolm Brown TD swindle but I am willing to live with it.

      Dionte Johnson produced big last week, but it was a very low yards per target performance. 15 targets only 80 yards. This means it was a lot of dink and dunk. He got it done for fantasy but the matchup is very tough this week. Of course he has the upside but I’m fading him if possible.

        Thank u Alan- u guys are the best

    12 team, 0.5 PPR, 4-3

    QB: Mahomes
    RBs: Kamara, RoJo, Fournette, Dobbins, Edmonds
    WRs: Hill, Hopkins, Aiyuk, Hollywood Brown
    TEs: Tonyan, Goedert

    I’m thinking of packaging RoJo + 1 for one of the trade targets from today’s TRADECAST (thinking ARob of Evans ??). What type of deal would aim for?

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

      Man I can’t type lol

    2. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      If Aiyuk has another nice day that might be your guy to do it with. However, Aiyuk may have some staying power.

  13. ↓ Post By The Good Doc

    Been mulling this over for a few days now and need help.
    .5PPR on a team that is balanced
    Would you trade my James Robinson, D’Andre Swift and CeeDee Lamb
    for
    Dalvin Cook?
    Can also add in my Terry McLaurin for his Michael Thomas.
    Please help 🙂 !!!!

    You guys have any rumblings on Mixon’s foot? I’ve got a trade in my queue, my CEH for Mixon. I can absorb the off-weeks for Mixon if I’m sure he’s back after the bye.

  15. ↓ Post By PhillysPhinest

    I am being offered Andrews for Herbert, I have Lamar, Goedert and Gesicki, would you do it? 6 pt TD pass and 0.5 ppr

    Just traded Gronk and Chark for Dionte and RoJo. What do you think?

  16. ↓ Post By beni8790

    Would you trade Zeke and Pollard for Godwin and hunt?

    Would you trade ju ju for Leonard fornette?
    My backs are A Jones, Gurly, Josh Adams, Chase Edmonds and Mattison. WR’s are Ju Ju, Justin Jefferson, Cooks and Corey Dillion. Thank you!

  18. ↓ Post By alexafernandez01@gmail.com

    Hey, I’ve been trying to make offers for miles sanders. Would you give up mixon and Ekler for sanders? I know I’m over paying, am I giving up too much? I would be left with Josh Jacobs and not much else, Gio, Jamaal Williams, McKinnon, and Michel. This is non PPR

    Cheers
