Just wanted to say thank you to Tyrod Taylor for what was basically garbage time TDs to help salvage his day. Gonna need every point I can get as I'm running Mack and Kenyan Drake as my RBs this week

Fast Luck posted:yeah it sucks for fantasy purposes since the suspension is still almost definitely gonna happen and now he'll be missing fantasy playoff time when he serves it. On the other hand it pretty much frees you up to just drop him once the suspension kicks in But what if it starts next week and he'd theoretically be available for Week 16

He looked awesome on those early runs and then they put in Tolbert for a few series for seemingly no reason (and he looked awful). The commentators were trying to figure out if anything was wrong with him, but he was just on the sideline with his helmet on and then came back in shortly thereafter. Wasn't clear if there was an injury, I don't think so...they just had to rely heavily on the pass later on as they were down heavily.

At one point they said it was believed to be his groin as they saw him stretching that area on the sideline. Pretty pissed he didn't goal line looks at the end. That rushing TD by tyrod was devastating.

He will get suspended, it'll take effect next year. This isn't about anything other than "Can Roger suspend him for any reason, without any evidence, for whatever fictional reason he wants?" And the answer is yes. Edit: Buy low on Zeke if you can for this year.

The first part is true but idk about that advice. Zeke has been dragging this out all season, sure, but he's exhausting one legal option at a time in doing so, and I believe this is his very last one unless he gets a surprise decision from the 2nd Circruit.

I'm having a blast trying to trade Gordon because nobody agrees on his value, nor should they. People who value him don't have appropriate guys to trade, and people with good trade candidates don't have value. Like I'm already 2-6 so I don't care if I have to hold on to him and have a wacky week 13, it's just fun to talk about with people across the league

For more advice, Sataere and Spoeank have checked in with Start/sits: Demayrius, Richardson; Abdullah vs Peterson; WR sleepers; and Spoeank is calmly and unreasonably enraged about Thursday Night Football

Yeah the Courts of Appeal are supposed to be the final say but then Zeke's lawyers can still challenge state laws based on New York now and delay the suspension even longer. Also can't the NFLPA also file suit and delay the NFL's lawsuit too?

Thinking about trying to trade away Hopkins now that Watson is gone and before his perceived value plummets. Anyone you guys would target? I heard Amari Cooper on a podcast, but that feels a little low?

Yesterday I got a trade offer from the dude who had Watson and Wilson. He's 2-6, and my QB options arent great. He sent over a trade of his Wilson for my Fournette straight up. Hahaha no way, but I countered with my Thompson for Wilson. I have RB depth, Thompson is a flex for that team. 30 minutes later Watson tore his ACL.

I have Goff starting, dropping Watson for Jameis tomorrow and throwing feelers out for Tyrod and Mariota and offering bench fodder.

The Colts game should also boost his stock a bit if you want to wait on selling low.

Dude is offering Gronk, Jay Ajayi, and TY Hilton for my Mark Ingram, Jimmy Graham, and Alex Collins. My starting RBs w/ flex are Shady, Melvin Gordon, and Ingram. I don't need TY nor want him. But what do you guys think about the upgrade to Gronk really is? I'm feeling Ajayi is gonna do fantastic as an Eagle. But, Ingram has been beasting it.

I wouldn’t do this. Gronk isn’t much of an upgrade over Graham. Ingram is a top 10 RB ROS. Collins has been looking great and is supposedly in line for more carries. Ajayi may not even be the starter in Philly. Hilton is useless without Luck. Actually the more I think about it the less I like this.

Gronk is a significant upgrade over Graham, and Ajayi will definitely be the starter (maybe not this week, but going forward absolutely). Still wouldn't make the trade though. I considered TY as an extreme buy-low, but on top of not having Luck, the Colts have an absolutely hellish schedule. Do not trade for TY Hilton.

Ok guys, have a collusion question for you. This trade is definitely questionable but I never veto trades because there has never been a need to do so. But this one is really bothering me. Here is the scenario. League: 12-team, Half-PPR, No Keepers Team A: 0-8 and out of the playoff picture Team B: 4-4 and very much in the playoff picture Team A: Gives Antonio Brown Team B: Gives Demaryius Thomas & Dion Lewis Oh, and these owners are brothers.

yea it’s super sketchy that an 0-8 team would trade their best player suddenly. I mean you MIGHT be able to argue that it's kind of a fair trade, but the fact that they are 0-8 makes it kinda obvious.

If trades between brothers are automatically suspect, then you should have a rule before the season starts saying they can't trade. If you don't want 0-8 teams trading with playoff contenders, then you should have a trade deadline set before the season starts, which kicks in around the time that teams are likely to be eliminated from playoff contention. Or, you can have a rule that prohibits teams eliminated from playoff contention from making trades with teams still in contention. You presumably have neither thing, and as for the trade itself, that's a player getting a downgrade at WR in order to pick up a RB. It might be a poor plan on the owner's part (trading one superstar for two lesser players is almost always a bad idea) but owners have to be permitted to manage their teams poorly, or else the entire fantasy football game becomes a farce. Don't veto it. Propose that next year you have a trade deadline and/or prohibit family members from trading with one another. Be prepared for hard pushback on both.

I assume nearly every league in existence has a trade deadline, no? It would be insane not to. Not sure why that would get hard pushback. The no brother trading rule... yea that won't fly. But objectively, I doubt you could find many people who would think adding Dion Lewis is worth downgrading from AB to DT.

I think you need to ask the Antonio Brown trader why he is making the trade and what he hopes to accomplish and judge whether it is collusion based on his answer. If he is making a good-faith effort to improve his team you have to allow the trade. If he has clearly just punted you can veto.

Always question both parties involved in the trade! Sometimes what appears to be collusion is an idiot and a smart guy. Dion has a lot of upside and DT has Brock (lol) so I can see him taking a desperation trade, especially if your league has a sacko. That's a good enough reason to attempt a risky/bad trade in my leagues at least.

I backup Leperflesh. Trade deadline rules exist for a reason. You can't fault someone for finding a willing trade partner. It's just an aspect you have to take into consideration when you let two brothers into a league and is no different than how me and my best friend joined my work league together. Collusion is when Team A tells Team B to trade him his RB for a week because he needs him to win a tough matchup and it's totally okay because he's been doing it all year with Team C.
