This is D.J. Moore, you're listening to A Rosterwatch.com

Tradecast. My name's Byron Lambert. And of course, this is where we come every week

to analyze to break down the fantasy football trade market.

And of course, it's imperative at this juncture of the season that our number one

objective is we are pursuing the consolidation trade.

That's where we're taking two of our good players, two of our players that ideally are

overperforming or maybe just appropriately valued, and we

package them up and we send them off to another team in exchange for one player that we view

as superior or better in return.

Optimally, it would be somebody that we're buying low on in order to maximize that value

that we're getting in

return. And, you know, consolidation trades, those are the trades that we're doing when we're

buying. Those are oftentimes the trades that we're doing when we're winning or operating from a

position of strength or our team is performing well. And the idea behind it is that we will continually level our roster up by making

these trades. And what I mean by that is if we're continually consolidating two players into one

better player, over time, that's going to accumulate a whole bunch of talent across our entire

fantasy roster, our bench and our starting lineup. So it slowly will improve every position

on our team. And more importantly, or equally as importantly, part of this process when we make these

consolidation trades is that thereby we liberate a roster spot that we can use for another

ever so important waiver wire ad. And as you guys know, we preach about cultivating waiver wire gold every week of the season.

And this is where we're going to take guys that can be had on the cheap on our waiver wires now.

And in just a few weeks, they'll be as valuable or more valuable than potentially the guys that we traded.
