I'm going to be.

I'm going to Mom Hey there, folks. Welcome back for the week 9 edition of the trade cast.

We got a couple weeks left here to swing a few last deals in our fantasy leagues with trade deadlines expiring

here in earnest between the 11th and the 25th of this month.

A lot of them will be wrapped up by the 18th.

As we get through this last treacherous week of buys, we had six teams off last week and

six again this week for the two

huge buy week nightmares of the season. After this week, about 70% of our buys will be out of the

way. So with the trade deadlines nearing and with the buy weeks pretty much behind us, other than

really Kareem Hunt, I think he's the only real big fish left with a buy in pretty much behind us. Other than really Kareem Hunt,

I think he's the only real big fish left with a buy in front of us.

It's going to be time for us to start.

We always talk about playing this like the poker tournament.

We like to switch gears as this thing escalates,

as the season takes us through the various levels.

And the gear we want to switch into right now is to the one where we begin front loading

our rosters with equity.

And by that, we want to start shifting the player equity in our rosters from across the roster,

from the bench to maximum player equity in our starting lineups.

As we head down the stretch here and we duke it out for a few very important wins here down

the stretch to ensure our seating in the playoffs.

And of course, we're going to want to have the best starting lineups absolutely possible
