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.

It’s also when Team A says hey give me your best player since you’re out of the playoffs and I’ll give you back the least I can without making it completely obvious we are cheating. (It can or cannot also include some money changing hands under the table)

Give: Landry, Duke
Get: Sanu, Kamara

0.5 PPR 12 team
QB: Russell
RB: Zeke, Howard, Duke, Gore, Morris
WR: Hopkins, Baldwin, Landry, JuJu, Westbrook

In my league we vote down trades for two reason: collusion and dumping and the GM decides on dumping. Then again our GM very much knows what he's doing and can be trusted.

That's clearly dumping.

Always question both parties involved in the trade! Sometimes what appears to be collusion is an idiot and a smart guy.

I agree with this. Err on the side of allowing the trade, but check. You'd be surprised how many times one party will answer, "yeah, I'm out of the playoffs so he said let's trade my best guy for two way worse guys"

Ed Dickson ain't the worst play this week with Benjamin gone. Probably a decent floor play but doubt he finds the end zone.

Smith might work as a dart throw TE2 with upside but we've seen this a couple of times with Walker where he's questionable mid-week but plays. I think he plays.

If AJ Derby is available, I think he's worth considering this week. I like the idea of Osweiler playing scared and targeting his TE a lot like he did with the Texans. And Derby is getting some red zone work.

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I was leaning towards not vetoing the trade and the advice here confirms that is the right move in the absence of hard rules. I contacted the team giving up AB and they said they are trying to avoid the sacko and are desperate. Case closed.

Terrance Mitchell - Andy Reid benched him last week in favor of Acker(who had a dominate game), and said some bullshit earlier in the week about "using the hot hand," and "Acker earned more time," which is fantasy football speak for "run the gently caress away," generally.

Morgan Burnett is coming back this week and is a FA I could pick up. But I also have Jonathan Joseph who hurt his shin and is Questionable, but had limited practices Thurs. and Friday.

Thinking of getting Burnett and dropping Joseph, and then playing Mitchell this week hoping a fire was lit under his buttox with last weeks benching...

Are there any DBs you've picked up recently that you're excited about? I could use some suggestions.

I picked up LaMarcus Joyner this week, he's coming off injury and the Rams other starting safety is IR so he's the man in the backfield.

I've been rotating Tyvon Branch, Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix and Matthias Fairley the rest of the season. I roster nothing but safeties because CBs are usually so inconsistent.

He's on bye this week, but Adrian Amos has been fantastic and was inexplicably on waivers in most of my IDP dynasty leagues. If anyone dropped him due to his bye and you have the space, might be worth grabbing him.

A little but I believe this matchup against the Eagles will work in Derby's favor. Eagles have a below average ranking against WRs for the season but that was thrown out of whack by the Giants and Chargers games. They've been a lot stingier lately against receivers. However they have been more generous to tight ends since losing linebacker Jordan Hicks to injury. This could be a lopsided win for the Eagles so I think we'll also get a decent amount of Denver facing prevent D late in the game as well. This feels like a "funnel targets to the tight end" game script to me.

Dammit I wish there was some way to know Mitchell was getting benched in advance, because I lost last week by 10 points and getting a goosegg from my DB definitely contributed to that.

I've got Christian Kirksey and Everson Griffen on bye this week so I'm forced to start Mitchell again (unless I want to drop him) so I'm fully in the boat of hoping his got an assfire lit. I'm also starting Morgan Burnett, I've owned him all year and he's been a solid reliable performer (in my IDP scoring he hasn't gone below 8 points in the games he played, vs. seahawks, falcons, bengals, bears, and cowboys, with a nice 13.25 against the Bears). With Kirksey on bye I'm rolling with a recent acquisition at DE: Julius Peppers. He's been having a good season other than a zero in week 3, not sure why that happened but he's getting a sack a game basically so if you have good sack points he's a good pickup.

I've been back and forth with Jordan Poyer who already played this week but he's been available and has been useful for me as a waiver option when my guys are injured. If he's available in your league, take a look.

We start 4 DBs so the Amos owner held onto him through the bye. Joyner has been on my watchlist and someone I've forgot about, I am definitely interested in him.

IDP: Where great players get benched without warning for seemingly no reason. I searched him on google after the game last week and found an article posted at halftime saying Reid was thinking about benching him after the yards they gave up the week before. It's kind of frustrating, that nature of the IDP game. There's just not much coverage of defensive players, in my estimation. We start 4 DBs, 2 DEs, and 4 LBs, so there's a lot of movement typically with byes and injuries. It's a lot of fun researching defensive players and their matchups and streaming your favorites. I digress.

Looking at the Yahoo transaction trends for Mitchell, it's about 50/50 adds/drops. So, we're not alone. Not sure I can afford to risk starting Mitchell being in a timeshare with Acker. Joyner is available so I might just add him and move on from Mitchell. My other DBs have been Tyvon Branch and Glover Quin, both have been excellent.

Peppers has been a big surprise this year. Him and Calais Campbell.

I have Griffen as well, he's the greatest. My other DE is Brockers who has been a tackling machine. I've got Fletcher Cox back rostered to fill in as needed.

My LBs are Kiko, B.Marshall, KJ Wright, and Preston Brown. Nothing too flashy at all, sorta boring, but the group has been consistent.

So I had to wait till today's waivers processed so I didn't give away the farm, but I picked up Ha Ha Clinton-Dix today to slot in at the DB position instead of Mitchell. I had a free roster slot due to Deshaun dying, I shoved him into IR. Our dynasty league starts a DE, a LB, a DB, and two IDP FLEX spots, so there's a lot of flexibility and since it's dynasty you probably want to be holding around seven or eight IDP guys at any given time. I've got eight right now, plus Taco Charlton on my taxi squad.

What do you think about Lawrence TImmons? He had his issues at the start of the season and got dropped to waivers, but seems to be turning in a lot of 6+ tackle games since week 4. Miami is a trash fire but sometimes that's great for an IDP guy, means he's stuck on the field for fifty+ snaps or something.

Do I trade Kamara and McCaff for AJ Green in half PPR? I'd be rolling out Fournette/Thompson at RB after that and Green/AB at WR, probably flexing Tevin Coleman until Derrick Henry is ready. Brady at QB.

Thompson is on my bench but has been better than McCaffrey easily.

Otherwise I'd be playing a 3 of the 4 backs, AB84 and either Paul Richardson or Devin Funchess.

I'm 7-1 in my 12-man 0 PPR league and pretty much have a playoff spot guaranteed, so I'd like to try and solidify before the trade deadline this week.

My roster:
QB: Rivers, Manning
RB: Gurley, Martin, Abdullah, Lynch, Lewis
WR: Hill, Nelson, Hopkins, JuJu, Gordon

QB is definitely my weakest spot, and I think I can get Cousins from this guy:

QB: Brady, Cousins
RB: Coleman, Collins, Gore, Powell, Gallman
