Last minute trade advice before playoffs

Postby Nflnz » Wed Dec 02, 2020 12:27 am

Team 2 in Sig.

I am currently in 3rd spot and have managed to stay in the hunt all year despite having Thomas out and picking up RBs for cheap or off the waiver (Gallman, Gaskin etc).

If I can start my strongest line-up I can beat anyone on the day but not sure if I should make one more trade to help my team.

Any advice would be great.

Without a 1st for next year, about the only thing I could see is a play for a rental at RB. Someone a little older or place holding for another RB, but provides a solid floor right now. As I was writing this, I was thinking of guys like Gallman, then looked up and found him on your roster. Anyone who you could get for one of those 2nds would do as a plug-in.

That said, you may have to hold and see where the chips fall. Any move to get a decent player would probably cause you to have to consolidate assets. Since you guys start 8 position players plus a TE, I wouldn’t make any moves that make you thinner. Good luck, anything can happen in the playoffs.

Your team is in decent shape overall and you could make a run if all falls right. Playoffs are a total gamble like every week in fantasy. I like the idea of a rental back or wr for cheap to give you options if one is available. A piece like Mostert could be a nice buy pending price.

The guys above nailed it ^

Mostert could likely be had without giving up too much. If Kelce is on a rebuilding roster (he shouldn't be), I'd see what it would take for them to move from Kelce to Andrews. Aside from a rental RB/flex play, I'd hold. I've won it all with worse teams than this lol, you never know what will happen in the playoffs

You might also be able to get Carson on the cheap or David Johnson? I like Mostert mentioned above too.

You're loaded at QB/RB/WR... it's just a matter of them hitting at the same time, which I think is coming.

Your RBs have been inconsistent, but I would be comfortable with them weeks 14-16 once Swift gets another week between himself and the conclusion/illness. Gordon with Lindsay hurt is looking like a solid RB2/flex play, and trading for a cheap option like Gallman isn't needed when you already have him + Gaskin coming back soon.

Maybe try pairing up someone like Tyler Boyd and Ryan Fitzpatrick for a flex upgrade if anybody is in need of a QB2, but other than that, I would probably just let this lineup ride:

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson
RB: D'Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor
WR: Michael Thomas, Calvin Ridley
TE: Mark Andrews/Gronk
Flex: Chase Claypool, Tyler Boyd Mike Williams, 1 of Gordon/Gallman/Gaskin
