The Return of Byron Lambert’s TRADECAST

    14 team standard trade
    Give kenny G and gallman
    Get A copper
    ? Thanks yall

    1. ↓ Post By "Dirty"(Shaunanigans1980)

      Ps long live the trade cast! I get great info outside of just trades. Dig this content.

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Thank you

    2. ↓ Post By "Dirty"(Shaunanigans1980)

      Shot posted this before i heard the bit on copper, i have a feeling on what ya may say but i this its close

    3. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d be inclined to take that, with news that Barkley is 4-6 wk out , if I was a winning team with a good roster. If not, and I needed KG + Gallman right now to fill out best starting lineup and win now, I’d stay put

      1. ↓ Post By "Dirty"(Shaunanigans1980)

        Awesme stuff about what i expected. Im a lossing team but with a good roster that i believe will turn it around ie obj not up to full potential. Ill have to do a lil more research figure this one out. Thanks again!

    I’m 1-2…. was offered Julio and Mack for my Kamara and Tyreek. What does RW think?

    My other Rb’s are DJ, David Montgomery, Chris Thompson, Darrel Williams,

    WRs are Hollywood, John brown, MVS, DJ Moore, crowder, terry mclaurin.

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Think I would do it to get Julio in my lineup now and get some wins vs having Hill on bench. Love Kamara, but Mack could easily perform in same neighborhood until Brees gets back- you may want to look at the upcoming schedules just in case

      1. ↓ Post By KCash

        Thank you!

    I picked up Gallman in a league I don’t have Barkley, his owner offered me Hyde for Gallman but I am not really into that. Was thinking of offering Gallman and Kyler Murray for his D Watson?

    My team
    QB- Murray and Allen
    Rb- Elliot, Ingram, Fournette, R freeman, Gallman and M brown
    Wr- Evans, Kupp, Ridley and Ross
    Te- Kelce

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      You don’t really need Watson and should get more for Gallman. Although I see why ur willing to trade- you don’t really need him and his value is max right now to Barkley owners. I would take Gallman and Ross (maybe Kupp) and trade for the Barkley owner’s best WR, if he has one.

    should i drop Jaylen samuels for jeff wilson?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Close call, probably so — don’t hate Jaylen as a stash with how bad Conner looks , but no indications yet PIT is of same mindset. Coleman close to returning certainly muddies SF waters a bit —so Wilson is the guy that’s been producing and could be SFs goal line back vs somebody doing nothing but still seems to have most upside in the less than probable situation that everything begins going his way sooner than later

      1. ↓ Post By fasttimes

        thanks Byron

  5. ↓ Post By bigbarret

    In a standard I am currently starting at RB Dalvin Cook and Zeke. Thanks to the cheat sheet I have Ingram on my bench. Julio is my WR1 but I am starting Edelman and Allen Robinson as my starting 2 and 3 receivers. I can trade Ingram and Edelman for Philip Lindsay and Brandon Cooks. Worth it to upgrade my receivers at the cost of depth at RB? Let me know.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No– trade Ingram for Hopkins maybe — or Ingram + ARob for Hopkins and a Josh Jacobs or David Montgomery type would be very nice… Or take Ingram and Rob or Edelman and go after Zeke, CMC, or LeVeon

  6. ↓ Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

    The person who has Devante Adams is litterally refusing to trade even being 0-3 should I offer Amari Cooper for Adams or trade Amari Cooper for Fournette.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      You are pretty good at WR , so wouldn’t go out of my way to make that trade- Cooper for DA. If you could use Kirk or Sutton + Hardman for DA I would like that

      RB is a bigger priority for you- so I would do same deal I just outlined above for LF , too. Pretty good chance LF owner would want a RB back- so while I kind of like if you are going to roster either of those Patriots backs that you have both— I think most likely scenario to get LF is one of the WR mentioned above (Hardman would be awesome if you could pull that off) + Michel or Burkhead for LF

      1. ↓ Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

        Tried to get LF proposed Burkhead and Kirk and still didnt get him. I guess now im gonna try and get Josh Jacobs.

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Ultimately , if nobody bites on any of those— I think you have the WR depth to consider that Amari for LF trade—–just prudent to exhaust these other options first

          1. Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

            Yeah I think the big problem in my league is no one wants to trade big name guys for those types of players. Im hurting for RB bad and if I get Tyreek Hill back here soon I think it will be worth it to dump Cooper and expand my RB depth

  7. ↓ Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

    Rivers,Ingram,Burkhead,Hopkins,Amari Cooper,Darren Waller,Christian Kirk.
    Bench: Kyler Murray,Matt Bredia,Sony Michel,Mecole Hardman,Tyreek Hill Cortland Sutton.
    Who should I offer in hopes to try and get Fournette or Devante Adams.

  8. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    Guys a couple of mentions from my notes that didn’t make it into the podcast, that I think most of you are probably savvy to:

    1. The Melvin Gordon owner is the obvious partner for an Austin Ekeler deal
    2. Aaron Jones could be on the HOLD or SELL list of guys we aren’t sure what to do with

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      3. Christian Kirk likely a HOLD, could also be a BUY

  9. ↓ Post By Pappahoops

    I have been offered Barkley for my Chubb. I have Zeke, Fournette, Damian Williams and now Mostert.

    What do you guys think?

    3-0, look at my backs, loved the draft cheat sheet!!!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Would keep Chubb, and keep racking up the wins!!!

      Don’t see an obvious counter, unless you can do something w/ DW and/or RM + any other flex type players you have. I think LF is prob too valuable to give up for SB this far out.

      Thx for your support PappaHoops………..

  10. ↓ Post By Cancop1

    full PPR. Need a RB and flex from these nasty choices. Adrian Peterson, Burkehead, Miles Sanders, Paul Richardson, Vernon Davis

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

    Standard league can only start 2:

    Curtis Samuel, Jarvis Landry, Phillip Dorsett, Preston Williams who should I go with?

  12. ↓ Post By AbnerLofton

    5 PPR

    Would you consolidate Mixon into Jacobs and JGordon? Or shoot a little higher?

    My team:
    QB: Kyler. Bench: J Allen

    WR: Godwin, Kirk Bench: Jeffery, Hardman

    RB: Saquon (hurt), Chubb Bench: McCoy, Tevin Coleman, Gallman

    TE: Kittle Bench: Waller

    Flex: Mixon

    His Team:

    WRs:Hopkins, MThomas, Gordon, Marvin Jones
    RBs:Freeman, Jacobs, Hyde, Howard, Lat Murray, Ito
    TE:Hooper

    1. ↓ Post By AbnerLofton

      Or in general, what kind of return would you be looking for in a Mixon trade?

      1. ↓ Post By AbnerLofton

        What about a Kittle/Mixon for Hopkins/Jacobs deal?? I’d still have Waller at my TE..

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Yes

  13. ↓ Post By dankc2

    Standard league:
    MyTeam
    RB’s are Chubb, Fournette, Ingram, A Jones, Gallman and M Gordon.
    WR’s: Watkins, Kirk and Ridley
    TE’s: Kittle and Waller
    Other team:
    WR’s: Allen, Cooper, M Thomas, Golladay and M. Brown.
    RB’s are Michel, Gore and M Brown
    TE’s: McDonald and Akins

    What would be reasonable to offer for one of his WR’s? Would love to try and get Allen.

    Gordon and Watkins for Allen?
    Gordon and Kittle for Allen?
    Gordon straight up for Cooper?
    Gordon straight up for Golladay?

    or keep Gordon and offer Jones?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Why not go for Thomas maybe even cheaper than Amari? maybe Gallman straight up

      maybe Ridley and Gallman for amari

      AJones for Amari

      Ingram for Keenan

      1. ↓ Post By dankc2

        What about Gallman and WR for Allen?

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Gallman + Watkins / Kirk /Ridley for Allen is fine- prob prefer to keep Kirk

          1. Post By dankc2

            Thanks! Do you prefer Allen over M Thomas?

          2. Post By Byron Lambert

            Keenan over MT yes

          3. Post By dankc2

            I started with offer of Ridley and Gallman for Allen, it was rejected and he countered with Allen for Gallman and M Gordon.. I’m think of countering with Gallman and Watkins for Allen.

  14. ↓ Post By R A

    Who’s the better QB start this week, Wentz or D. Jones?

    1. ↓ Post By R A

      Also, do you think Wentz is a surefire every week QB1, or more of a replacement level streamer?

  15. ↓ Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

    Someone in my league dropped Robert Woods, should I drop Mecole Hardman for Woods since I have Tyreek Hill amd hes nearing his return.

  16. ↓ Post By WhoDat35

    Rosterwatch,

    14 tm PPR

    I trade:
    L Jackson
    Mel Gordon
    Tyler Lockett

    I receive:
    Davonte Adams
    Devante Freeman
    Mark Andrews
    Tevin Coleman

    I lost HH to injury and and streaming TE’s. QB after trade will be Tom Brady. RB’s will be Lev Bell and Josh Jacobs, Darrell Williams, Rashaad Penny. WR’s are JuJu, B Cooks, C Kirk, Hollywood Brown.

    Do I make this trade?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Don’t think you’re getting quite enough back in the deal- but I do think it’s probably a trade that helps ur tm esp in a 14 tm.

      If there are zero other TE options you can get by with then I might try to tweak the deal a tiny bit- can you get someone at all better than Coleman or Freeman – or can you get a different combo than those two who wld represent more value?

      Can you do add Brady and another player to the deal to make it a 4:4 and keep LJax?

      If no other options it’s a close call- could understand you taking it

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        But may be worth continuing to shop first if that’s the only offer this guy is willing to do.

        What about Kittle on bye?

      2. ↓ Post By WhoDat35

        He actually proposed to me Gallman and Andrews for Gordon. This was my counter. He has Waller as his first TE. It’s a 5 man bench so depth to me is precious. I agree with you though, it doesn’t feel great in my gut. I do love the thought of JuJu, Adams, and Cooks available to me every week as potential WR and Flex locks. I’m still deciding on whether to pull it back as he just accepted the offer. Listening to your tradecast, I guess I am concerned too that LaFluer could actually damage Adams as a player.

  17. ↓ Post By ea4582

    Legit podcast
    10 team.. superflex .5 ppr bonus yards and scoring tds
    Trade partner has Carson Diggs Conner
    (Not interested in but has- Damien Williams Singletary Godwin)
    He wants rbs
    My rbs are David Johnson Fournette Miles Sanders Hyde Penny and Darrell Williams
    My wrs- Beckham woods Kirk aj green
    My qbs Jackson Winston Goff Brissett
    I also could throw in a qb or wr but I would like to do a 2for1 3for 2 If I can…

    Who should I trade for and who should I give up?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      You didn’t list all the other teams assets so impossible to know- I think you cld do Sanders for Diggs and Singletary or Damien, based on info here- but there may be a better option – not much else Im interested in based on what I can see here

  18. ↓ Post By Pappahoops

    Just heard the awesome trade pod cast. Loved it. It has me looking for Tevin Coleman.

    I can add him in one league. Should I drop

    Ronald Jones
    Allen Robinson
    Curtis Samuel
    or
    Devin Singletary

    .5 ppr. Trade Kirk and M Sanders for Fournette or Jacobs? Same owner has both guys.
    My roster….K Allen, Evans, JuJu, Edelman, Kirk, Sutton, CMC, M Sanders, Howard, Penny, Mostert, Gore, Darrel Williams.

    We start 2RB, 2WR, 2 Flex

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Would prefer to do it for Sutton or maybe Edelman but like where ur head is at

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Sutton or maybe Edelman (instead of CK) + MS , of course

        1. ↓ Post By xraytakr

          Thanks Byron! Do you have a preference between Fournette or Jacobs?

          Also another guy just sent me a trade. I give up Kirk and MSand and get Aaron Jones. Would you do that if I cant get Fournette or Jacobs?

          1. Post By Byron Lambert

            Prob Fournette over Jacobs- close b/t Kirk and JE just so many targets for Kirk but of course Edelman is going to be very solid

            Think that’s a bit too much for AJones

        2. ↓ Post By xraytakr

          Also, I’m kinda surprised you would rather give up Edelman than Kirk.

        3. ↓ Post By xraytakr

          Would you do Sutton or Edelman + MS for A Jones? Or still too pricey?

  20. ↓ Post By Incognito

    I have a trade offer — I get Wentz, D Henry and d Jack for K allen, Chubb and L Murray — some background – My QBs are a bit challenged – Mayfield and Brissett Mr RBs mccaffrey, Chubb, Ingram McCoy and A Jones. Aside from allen by WRs are weak – Godwin, John Brown A robinson and C samuel. Offeror has Kamara and Dak and d Jones.

    I don’t like giving up the #1 WR so likely will reject offer — Should I accept if I can sub Godwin for allen? thanks

    ps whats your view on Henry and Chubb straight up?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No, this is a horrible offer that makes no sense for your team. Why in the hell would you trade Keenan Allen if you are are weak at WR? To get Carson Wentz you want to trade one of the best wr in fantasy?

      Downgrade from Chubb to Henry along the way and give the Kamara owner his Latavius handcuff for free? You’re doing this all wrong

    I was offered devante Adams for my M Gordon.

    I approached the other team and tried to send Carson, penny and Hilton for Julio and that was his counter

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Maybe try sending Carson and Boyd or Sutton

      Or try sending AJones straight up.

      Gordon for Adams is a little bit much- deal becomes more complicated trying to remedy that in a multi player deal 2:2 or 2:3 – you’d have to be getting somebody else solid in addition back that’s better than whoever you else you would on to your side

    And now I’ve just finished listening to the tradecast. Great stuff, thanks Byron! So the Hopkins owner is 0-3 and needs RB help in the worst way. I’m talking to him, and have apotential offer on the table. It’d be Hopkins for Godwin and Gallman. I have Evans, and I know you told me a while ago it’s not feasible to have two Bucs WRs, which I always agreed with. In the draft, I took Evans at 3.09 and Godwin fell all the way to the 8th. Couldn’t not take him there, but it always felt gross.

    This is for a 12 team standard scoring league. Current roster is

    QB: Wentz

    WR: Evans, Kupp, Godwin, Samuel, Parris Campbell, Preston Williams

    RB: Chubb, Mixon, Montgomery, Penny, Gallman

    TE: Andrews

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes, I would take that deal right to the bank- congrats on obtaining Hopkins

    Dynasty ppr, I would get Jacobs & AJ Green and I give up Leveon & Parris or Trequan. Do I make the deal. Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      IF you make the deal and its a true dynasty ( where u keep over 12 players) make sure you hang onto parris !
      then you can say “…we’ll always have parris”

      But in dynasty, he is a player to hang onto.

      giving up leveon for Jacobs in dynasty is smart as he is sell high right now, but the difference between leveon and Jacobs is too large ATM ( get AJG out of the trade, and try to trade lev and trequan, for Jacobs and his 1st or a better younger ascending wr )
      Lev is getting a lot of touches man, do not sell low.

      …And if you’re making this trade right now to cover Bell’s bye week … so help me god !

    Full ppr… would you move lindsay and Olsen for devonta Freeman and Darren Waller?? League mate wants lindsay from me in a 1 for 1 trade but that’ll help his team more than mine so I’m trying to upgrade at TE in case Olsen goes down, which I feel is coming eventually.. thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      talk about fair trades !

      k lets break this down :

      olsen : playing like a 25 yr old trapped in a 35 year olds body
      bound to get re injured at some point

      Lindsay : Just put up a monster week vs the packers but they also allowed howard to run wild on them last night ( Jordan fricken howard !!!)
      Royce is getting a lot of touches and looks decent ..
      without an injury, Lindsay wont be getting a ton of touches every week.

      D Free looks like trash though, like pure trash but doesn’t have much of anything behind him.
      I honestly think Lindsay will outscore freeman by a cunt hair at this point.

      Waller is the most intriguing player mentioned here, he should have good trade value as he’s a hot commodity.

      I guess if you have good depth at rb, and need a more solid option at TE, I may do the deal.
