Politard Fantasy Football 2016 - Page 8 - Politics and Economics

Advice: Running most of his routes against Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu, Marshall caught all three of his passes in the first half and was targeted just once after the break. He got loose for one big play, a 36-yard gain against Peterson. Marshall was also the target in the end zone on Ryan Fitzpatrick's interception that got him benched for Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. If Smith starts Week 7 against the Ravens, Marshall will be downgraded to a WR3.

Damn! How bad is Geno!?

The best thing I did was forget the draft and let autodraft guide me. I've FPSed the hell out of every live draft I've ever done.

I hate making trades because it just feels like this fundamentally dishonest process where everybody is trying to take advantage of the other guy (this is not me judging as much as my own actually diagnosed neuroses), but I do like to grind the transaction wire and pick up free agents (and that's where it gets a lot harder when you play with more alert players).

Should I care if people want to do a trade but can't get it thru by Sunday so they're planning a timed drop/add with each other? I play one of them. I said it was collusion when first asked and before I knew who was doing it.

Is that possible on Yahoo? They hit waivers and somebody could claim them.

It would be collusion if there is an intent to gain an unfair competitive advantage. For example, one team drops their best player knowing that one specific team would pick it up. In response, that specific team drops a **** player to make room. That would be collusion. I'd actually consider that grounds for disqualification from the league.

There is a setting to get rid of waivers which this league did last year. Like after the games they go into the waivers until Tuesday like normal but rest of the week they're all FA I believe.

He's trying to trade Jacquizz Rodgers to a guy for Buffalo D. The trade itself makes no sense to me but I wouldn't veto it normally. Problem for them is they're running into the trade not clearing in time for Sunday.

Would you call it collusion if it made your opponent weaker?

That's also a horrible trade for whoever is getting the defense. I mean what dolt trades for a defense when aside from 1 or 2 they're a total crapshoot.

I said it was collusion before I knew who was doing it or who was being traded. Was told 'is it okay for 2 people to time their drops so the other can pick it up so as to get around the trade timer'.

I guess if it's not explicitly stated, then it is okay.

Against the spirit of the game, but not the letter imo

I ended up saying I didn't care if they did an expedited trade as long as it was okay with everyone. The trade itself makes no sense to me and the guys logic was lol bad about why he ended up without a D but that's just him being silly.

Yeah, if they just went ahead and did it, it would definitely be collusion. But, if they are asking, I would consider it fair to pose the question to the whole league, and if something like 2/3-unanimous (commish's judgment, but stated in advance) vote of the league was cool with it, then let it go.
