Someone in one of my public leagues traded Lamb and Najee for Tyreek Hill. Then the guy getting Hill said he didn’t see that Najee was part of the deal. Which means he genuinely thought someone was just trading him Hill for Lamb straight up lol. Also, offered someone Jamar Chase for Edmunds, hoping they accept. And thinking of offering DJ Moore for Chris Carson in another league which seems fair to me.

I have like zero sympathy for those people who bitch about bad trades after they’ve made them, especially ones with outlandish excuses. “Oh I was trying to hit Decline and sneezed and happen to hit Accept and then Confirm and then Confirm again. I also didn’t realize I sneezed and hit Accept until several hours later.”

The key to never making a bad trade is being dumber than everyone else and just assuming any trade offered is a scam.

Someone in my league a few years ago did an add/drop for and wasn’t paying attention. Forget the player but it was a stud with a common last name. So they thought they were getting like Julio Jones and instead got another Atlanta player J. Jones who was a 3rd string CB or something. He dropped a good player who immediately got snapped up. Wanted to undo it but everyone said LOL no, dumbshit

Any decent commish would reverse something as egregious as that. If something is an obvious accident and you can reverse it without negatively impacting anyone you should absolutely reverse it. Edit: Talking about the accidental add/drop, not the trade. RCarr fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Sep 29, 2021 |

I couldn’t think of any mistake more honest than that. Dude probably saw him and there and made sure he mashed the add/drop through ASAP thinking if he hesitated for a second someone else would grab Julio.

Yeah, dude should have taken the four seconds to make sure it says Julio Jones, WR, ATL. Like the info is right there, I don’t care how excited you get that you found a WR1 on FA. Pretty much the only mistake I think worth forgiving is someone somehow accidentally dropping a player and then immediately, I mean within 30 seconds, texting the commish to explain and have it undone. Bad trades, dumb pickups, all of that stuff has clear information right next to the players name of what you are getting.

Watching someone accidentally grab the wrong guy cause of the same initial and last name is one of the purest joys fantasy can provide. You'd have to be some sort of grinch to take that away. I miss that time period where you could nominate former Chicago Bears legend Adrian Peterson first in auctions and watch chaos ensue.

He said honest mistakes are one thing… what would be an example of a mistake more honest than that? Obviously you can commish your league how you want, but there’s no way I’m letting someone’s entire season go down the drain over an obviously silly honest mistake.

RCarr posted:I’d argue that anything accidental is accidental. Ok well if someone says they claimed JK Dobbins this week because they thought he was the starter for the ravens, I'm not going to say they should get to reverse that because they accidentally added someone that isn't the ravens starter. Adding the wrong player (eg J. Jones) is more like that than it is a technical issue like "I pressed the wrong button."

That guy is trying to rob you. Ekeler and Swift are great right now and kittle is one of the few TE's with points potential. You would essentially be downgrading 3 starters for Rondale Moore who is good but suffers from having to share targets between 3 other legit receivers.

What does the goon hivemind think of this trade: Redraft PPR: I give up Josh Jacobs for Tyler Boyd in my league where I have CMC+Chuba, Swift (bye week 9), and Gibson+McKissic (bye week 9)? Boyd has scored 6.2, 14.3, and 13.6 so far this year. It would leave my RB situation bad in week 9 but would give me what appears to be a 3rd viable starting WR (my WRs are ARob, Tim Patrick, Diontae, Mooney, KJ Osborn, Van Jefferson, Bryan Edwards). Tim Patrick may already be a clear cut fantasy starter now with KJ Hamler out for the year. But Jacobs is hurt and my 4th RB so I'm tempted to do it. Could counter for Hollywood Brown. AAAAA!

Need advice I’m 3-0 and defending league champion in my dynasty league. 12 teams and 4 playoff spots. PPR. I currently have Michael Thomas and Jerry Jeudy on IR. I’ve been getting by with Jakobi Myers and Cole Beasley in their place. Allen Robinson is my default WR1 right now. Another owner offered me Marvin Jones for two future third rounders. I’m low on picks as it is. Would you give up those picks for Jones? In an ideal world he’d never see my lineup come November (would start Thomas, Robinson, Jeudy). But it’s also extremely hard to rely on Thomas or Jeudy to come back from their injury and just be 100%. Plus, Allen Robinson no longer feels like a sure thing. Legitimately torn on this.

Boyd has scored 6.2, 14.3, and 13.6 so far this year. I would not trade already-dwindling rb depth to shore up one mid-season week. It's not about week 9, it's about weeks 15-17. Also you are selling low which I also don't like. Hold your RB depth and trade them when the trade deadline approaches for max profit.

I just don't think the WR you're getting back is good enough to sacrifice your depth. RBs are worth more, even if you're not likely starting Jacobs. I have one too. I have Chuba and the guy with CMC is hurting bad and needs some guys who will actually play now. Thoughts on either of these concepts generally? (1) I package a WR with Chuba to upgrade at WR - maybe something like Boyd/Chuba for McLaurin. Could send Ja'Marr here too but don't really want to. Or (2) I acquire CMC for Gibson and Swift. Gives me a problem in the flex, where I'd probably have to play Ty'Son unless I figure something out, but also gets me the best player in fantasy while holding his handcuff. Ekeler is my other RB and my wideouts suck. Standard scoring.

Definitely do not trade Gibson and Swift for an injured CMC. Or even a healthy CMC.

Well the amount is a joke. 420/1000 is a stupid amount for a practice squad player but this person is a Chiefs homer. That said Josh Gordon is going to get snaps sooner rather than later.
