Rap back where you at?

Yo, what's up?

It's Thursday, September 25th.

And week four is here. Starts tonight. You know, we get to this point

of the season almost every year, maybe a little bit in weeks one and two, but definitely week

three, definitely week four, where trading becomes a constant, where I'm getting questions

about it all the time. People are thinking about it all the

time. So I figured it was a good time to just step in and talk a little bit about trading strategy.

A lot of times, yes, we talk draft strategy for how many months. We talk zero RB and hero RB and

value based and tier based and all that. But once we get into the season, we really don't get the opportunity to truly talk about the strategies because a lot of times it is just rinse and repeat. We're doing waivers. We're doing rankings. We're doing starts sit. And then we're on to the next week, right? Well, we have that opportunity on this podcast. So I'm going to take it today. We'll talk a little bit about trade

strategy, dues and don'ts, things that have worked for me in the past, that sort of thing.

So hopefully you'll find this beneficial. Now, I do want to say first and foremost, you don't

have to make trades in fantasy football. I think a lot of people go out there and they think

that that's part of the game. Like you have to do it. It's prerequisite for playing fantasy football that you have to go out and you

have to make trades. The reality is you don't. You could draft really well. You could make a few

timely waiver ads, a couple streamers here and there, and be just fine through the course of

a fantasy football season.

I often find that people trade out of boredom. They trade for the sake of trading, is what I

often say. They're moving pieces around the board, but they're not really advancing anywhere.

And sometimes they do it out of panic where it's like, I have to shake things up. I'm

0 and 3. I'm freaking out. And

usually doesn't accomplish the main goal because there is one main goal in trading.
