    My wrs are Scary Terry , Evans , arob , juedy

    .5 ppr

    I was offered dj Moore for evans and arob , would you do this ?

    1. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

      I also have Antonio brown on my bench

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      No, I would not. not enough depth

  2. ↓ Post By renourka

    Thanks for quick release of this awesome content and thanks for having it on Spotify! (I still think it should be only for PRO members though)

    Byron, Alex, or Trashman –

    12 Team .5 PPR (2-2)
    [1] QB: Herbert
    [2] RB: N. Harris, Sanders (E. Mitchell, Bernard, Gainwell)
    [2] WR: Diggs, McLaurin (Higgins, Ruggs)
    [1] TE: J. Cook
    [2] W/R/T: Thielen, AB
    [2] IR: Fuller, Wilson
    Bench total: (6)

    1) I know Sanders and N. Harris were sells which concerns me since they’re my starting backs but I also happen to own Gainwell so should I still be trying to sell either of them? The 0-4 owner of D. Cook/Mattison, Hopkins and AJ Brown doesn’t want to trade away any so I’m not even sure who is worth trying to go after?

    2) Still trying to buy Fant and/or D. Harris and maybe even Waddle now after listening to Week 5’s Tradecast and we’ve already gone back and forth on offers since last week:

    My offers:
    tried Cook + Ruggs for Fant last week which he countered with Mclaurin for Fant Waddle
    Ruggs for D. Harris
    Higgins for D. Harris

    His offers:
    OBJ for McLaurin
    D. Harris for McLaurin

    Obviously I haven’t taken his offers and he still hasn’t taken mine so what else would you try here? Go after Kamara, Harris and/or Waddle?

    Other team (3-1)
    [1] QB: Mahomes
    [2] RB: Kamara, M. Gordon (D. Harris, Singletary)
    [2] WR: Jefferson, Lockett (AJ Green)
    [1] TE: Fant (Gronk)
    [2] W/R/T: OBJ, Waddle
    [2] IR: Ertz
    Bench total: (6)

    Sorry for length but thanks in advance!

      1. I would still try to move Sanders, as you don’t want the headache of deciding which of him or Gainwell you want to play weekly and you don’t want to play both of them. Maybe try pairing Sanders and Higgins or Ruggs for a top tier back.

      2. Your trade partner is a clown. I’d find a more reasonable one. Fant isn’t worth going back and forth over IMO.

  3. ↓ Post By pattyboo

    Trade away Gibson and Gordon for cmc and hubbard

  4. ↓ Post By ryanusc3

    Hunt, Carson Pittman for Saquon & ARob – thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      yes, if you’re getting Hunt, etc.

  5. ↓ Post By gurpindersdeol@gmail.com

    Got a trade offer, 12 team 0.5 PPR.

    I get dhop, Hubbard, Fant for Carson, Sutton, pitts.

    Thoughts?

    I’m planning on packaging some WR depth for an RB from some other owner, assuming they accept but curious what you think about the above trade.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I wouldn’t do that trade. CMC is coming back sooner than later it seems

  6. ↓ Post By Gman

    Good evening RosterWatch Nation.

    12 team .5 per 3-1 record

    I was offered D Montgomery fot my Melvin Gordon.

    My RBs are J Robinson, Melvin Gordon, Javonte Williams, Trey Serman, Lat Murray and Alex Collins. I also have Elijah Mitchell on IR.

    What do you think?

    Thanks for your assistance.

  7. ↓ Post By Gman

    Also, I can put Montgomery in a second IR spot

  8. ↓ Post By great1nel@yahoo.com

    I’m streaming qbs. Last week I used Taylor heineke which worked out well. I have Justin fields stashed. Should I go with Taylor again or finally give fields the start. Also if neither is a good option I have Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones , Zack Wilson, Jared Goff, teddy Bridgewater, jameis Winston on the waiver I can stream

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I think Heinicke is still your best bet, maybe Lawrence.

  9. ↓ Post By Lonny5

    Need Input,

    Full point ppr.

    1) Higbee or Knox this week? And then which one rest of season (as of now). Will trade the other one.

    2) Need 1 for flex: The other te above, Higgins if active, Perine, Crowder, or Latavius Murray.

    Thanks

      1. ↓ Post By Lonny5

        Thanks a lot Trashman

  10. ↓ Post By DanMach

    What do you guys think about picking up Marlon Mack as a speculative move, considering all of the RB injuries.
    I would drop Heiniecke

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      It’s shrewd if you have the bench space

      1. ↓ Post By DanMach

        Players on my bench. A.J. Dillon, A Mattison, T Pollard, K Gainwell,
        i have neither cook or A Jones

  11. ↓ Post By Chelo Méndez

    12-team – 0.5 PPR – 1-3

    QB: Mahomes
    RBs: Swift, Edmonds, Sanders, Hubbard
    WRs: Jefferson, Ridley, OBJ, Marquise, Pittman
    TE: Andrews

    Just listened to the TradeCast, would say the obtainable players mentioned in my league would be:
    WRs: Lamb, Allen, AJ, Higgins, Antonio
    RBs: Jacobs, Mixon

    What type of deal would you guys say I should aim for? Maybe package Sanders and Marquise for some of the high-valued aforementioned players?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      You could probably get Mixon or Allen for Sanders and Brown

  12. ↓ Post By Helo's Horde

    12 man, .5 ppr, 1-3 (QB-2WR-2RB-TE-Flex-K-DST)
    Current RBs: Chubb, Moss, Ty’Son Williams
    Current WRs: Hopkins, DJ Moore (Keeper), Mike Evans, Pittman, Mooney, Gordon

    A League Mate wants Evans. Would Henderson for Evans be a decent/worth it trade?

    His RBs: Jones, Barkley, Henderson, jamaal Wiliams, Conner, Singletary
    His WRs: Kupp, AJ Brown (Keeper), Claypool, Davis Bateman, Crowder

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Yes, that’s fair. You def need RB depth

  13. ↓ Post By Jon Deba

    PPR league – who do you like better for rest of season – Sutton, Marquise Brown, or L. Shenault?
    Thank you

  14. ↓ Post By ryanusc3

    Hunt & Sutton for Ceedee a good move? Trying to package Hunt as a sell as I’ve been starting him all year alongside Chubb. Or go for bigger, say Metcalf, Keenan, Nuk, Ridley?

    1. ↓ Post By ryanusc3

      I also have Chris Carson and Deebo as sell candidates

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      If you can take the hit. I doubt you could get Metcalf or Allen right now, but Nuk and Ridley might be doable

  15. ↓ Post By Helo's Horde

    12 man, .5 ppr, 1-3 (QB-2WR-2RB-TE-Flex-K-DST)
    Current RBs: Chubb, Moss, Ty’Son Williams
    Current WRs: Hopkins, DJ Moore (Keeper), Mike Evans, Pittman, Mooney, Gordon

    Being Offered Corey Davis and James Conner for Mike Evans.

    1. ↓ Post By Helo's Horde

      He didn’t like my original offer and countered

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Nope- we want to do the exact opposite of that deal. If you were getting Evans for Conner and Davis we would like it better

  16. ↓ Post By Wild Turkey

    Taking Byron’s advice I have a trade in my superflex league. We start 2rb, 3wr, 2 flex… I have wrs: adams, hill, McLaurin, marvin Jones, reagor. Rbs I have: James Robinson, lenny fournette, chubba, Alex Collins, damien Williams.

    Trade: I give- lenny fournette/marvin Jones
    Receive: damien harris/waddle

    Byron suggested shipping lenny and getting damien harris.

    1. ↓ Post By Wild Turkey

      Also have gainwell

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        I would try doing Damien Williams + Marvin for Harris (and Waddle if possible- even if you have to throw in reagor too)- I like buying Harris but don’t see him as a huge upgrade over Lenny.

  17. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    Or, you could use Gainwell (+marvin) instead of Damien Williams here esp if it got you both Harris and Waddle in a fell swoop

  18. ↓ Post By dankc2

    Standard scoring, drop Waddle to pick up Juedy. My other WR’s are Jefferson, Lamb, Marquis Brown and ARob.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Fuck I might drop Allen Robinson for Jeudy instead. Close call- I’d probably drop Waddle for him too

  19. ↓ Post By Bill

    Sorry, posted this in another thread:

    Yooo what’s up playas!!! I’m about to offer T Maclaurin and Cordarelle for D Adams and David Montgomery. You guys like that deal? Hes crushed at RB so he’s gonna take, I love it just want the Gurus blessing!!10 team ppr I am 4-0. My sqaud:
    Elite Dominator$

    QBs: Hurts and T Lance
    RBs: A Jones, Zeke, D Swift, Cordarelle, Damien Harris and M Carter
    WRs: K Allen T Maclaurin Julio Jones, Claypool
    TEs: Knox and Goedert
    D: Patriots
    K: McManus

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Would rather see you do Julio + Cordarrelle here – but if not I can live with this. You have the RB depth for it- and plain and simple Adams is the elite of the elite

      1. ↓ Post By Bill

        Thanks Byron! I tried Julio but this guy is 1-3 must win mode, he wouldn’t bite. Just pulled the trigger and feel great about this squad! 1st year in this one, $500 buy in

  20. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    If you pick up Monty- you’ll have another crack later in the season to consolidate some of that extraordinary depth into another super elite player for your starting lineup down the stretch.

    1. ↓ Post By Bill

      One more quick question. Would you drop Lance for Cousins, Jones or Tanny??

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Maybe for Cousins if you need to play him this wk- love his matchup this wk- not for the other guys. Look at the upcoming schedules – also make a determination on whether you think Jimmy G will regain the job

      2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        However I would trade Lance before I dropped him

  21. ↓ Post By DJ

    Trade question Gents in PPR – I’d get J Robinson/Thielen for my Gordon III/Keenan Allen – JRob would immediately be my RB2, and I have D Hopkins, Antonio Brown, and Boyd for wr’s…Thanks.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’d be fine with that. Feels fair. Love Robinson and Thielen’s spots this week as well.

  22. ↓ Post By jrcs851315

    Picked up Knox and Schultz last week – would you trade one for Pitts (they have the same bye week)? Or try to pair him with a receiver to upgrade?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Either option is a good one – I like the way you are thinking (Hockenson would be the higher tier guy I would target

  23. ↓ Post By Spinman

    Hey Byron,

    Lamb and Swift for DHop and Conner – should I offer this trade in .5 PPR or am I giving too much away? (I think it tilts a bit in my favor)

    I have –
    WRs DHop, KAllen, DJohnson, CSutton, JMeyers.
    RBs Chubb, JRobinson, MSanders, MCarter, JConner, EMitchell

    Thank you and love the Tradecast!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I would rather have Lamb and Swift

  24. ↓ Post By Airbenders

    Lost R. Wilson this week to injury. Rest of team is: D Henry, D Harris(NE), J Chase, D. Metcalf, A Cooper, K Hunt, M Saders, R Woods, D Waller. Streaming Kickers and Defense. 1/2 pt PPR 10 team. Trade offer is Waller for A. Robinson and J. Hurts or D. Henry for Robinson, Hurts and Pitts, and CEH. I picked up K Cousins (should have waited till later in the week) of waivers. Lance, Fields, Burrow, D Jones, all usually available on waivers. Make the trade or stream QBs till Wilson heals?
