The episode opens with a practical observation: Week 6 brings the first four-team bye week of the season, and that creates natural desperation among managers trying to fill starting lineups. Andrew Erickson and Ryan Warmley argue that the smartest trade strategy right now is identifying what other teams need—whether it’s a starter to cover a bye or a long-term asset for a win-now team—and exploiting that gap.
