Should I trade Bell? I have Hunt, Hyde, Gillese, Tevin Coleman and Perine.
I need a QB. I gambled on Luck and had Dalton as a stop gap. Using Alex Smith after dropping Dalton.
I could use an upgrade at WR3. I have Cooks and Micheal Thomas as my WR1 and WR2. I'm throwing out there a combo of Marvin Jones, Tyrell Williams, and picked Higgins up.
What say you?

Still banging my head figuring out if I should bench Dalvin Cook for Chris Carson in one league and Derrick Henry in another.

There is a school of thought that every trade should go through and if there's collusion you kick the managers out. I get that, but the downside is your league is now down two teams and possibly two friends. It's a lot of bullshit to deal with.
From a talent perspective, this is voidable. AJ Green's value is tremendously higher and Agholor is a part time player. But it's also inarguable that the Bengals offense has sucked so far, and Agholor has -slightly- outscored Green.
So I would ask:
- Is this a keeper league? Any futures potential?
- Could there be collusion?
If no to both, I think it's a fair trade that will eventually favor heavily on the side getting Green.
A.J. Green has Dalton and the team is terrible. Green is the better player of the two. Ughh...
- No keeper.
- Trade is between a husband and wife.

Are they both in it to win? Is one just kinda coasting? I've definitely seen one sided collusion before. Can you see a good reason why the side getting Agholor wants that deal? Are they 0-2 but lost close games? Does the team getting Green become a superpower? etc.
I guess I lean on letting the deal happen but I would investigate the "why" as much as possible. In my keeper league I legitimately ask each team that question.
Team getting Green is 2-0. Other side is 1-1. Team getting Green doesn't become a power house, but the team losing Green doesn't really gain with Agholor - they currently have Alshon and Kelvin B. Going by purely seasonal point averages, Agholor is the best WR/TE on the team looking to trade for Green.
My gut is that Green is and will become the better player for the season and Agholor could become useless in future weeks. After 2wks, Green is awful due to Dalton. A WR1 for a WR3/Flex option in PPR. I may approve of it, but be very vigilant of any future trades these two try with each other.

Well the reason why you would consider allowing the trade is that:
- Maybe Alshon gets hurt (god forbid), but then Agholor's value goes way up.
- Maybe Agholor gets hot and they play him and Alshon a lot together in 3 WR sets.
- Maybe the Bungles continue to suck, and switch to their backup. And it doesn't help.
- Maybe Green gets hurt. Or is nursing something already.
So...I hate to say it, but I can see why. It's not a move I would make, but in someone's opinion, it could work. Then just be even more vigilant on the moves they make later. Watch out for suspicious add drops

How did I get eliminated from the survivor pool just because I didn't make a pick before the Thursday night game? That's never happened before.

I am, pray for us.
I try my best to never veto any trades now that my leaguemates are actually experienced in the league but we have had to veto before. For a bit we had it if you feel like its collusion/ripoff trade then put it up to a league vote to see what they think. Problem is alot of people just vetoed every trade like asses.

Alright I'll take a chance. I have AJ Green too in my lineup. Rip me

My guess (hot takes) is they will be behind early and have to throw the ball alot. My only worry is Pats will try to take Nuke out with extra coverage...but he should still get tons of targets.
What in the world

No way should that trade be allowed. The A.J. Green owner either has no clue who A.J. Green is or there is collusion. This is like trading Mike Evans for Tavon Austin.

I think it is a fair trade, this is the time of the season where people hit the panic button on their "sure things" when they are slow out of the gate and go for players that are hot right now.
Even for me, if someone made an offer for any of my Redskins players (Cousins, Pryor, Crowder), I would probably take the deal.

Dalvin Cook is way too talented to be benched.
Whenever you can trade a top 5 receiver in the league for a 3rd/4th option WR who has 60% of his fantasy points on a fluke play you got to do it.
Violence Jack

Either Dalton or McCarron will find a way to get the ball to AJ. I wouldn't worry about it.
I'd void it. AJ Green is one of the best receivers in football. I am currently debating dropping Agholor in my 12 team league.
If they'd take Agholor for Green, I'd offer something better.
TechnicPuppet
Nothing! I said nothing!
I just banned trades this year. There were only ever 2 or 3 per year and always completely suspect if not flat out collusion.

Anyone rolling the dice on JJ Nelson? If I dont play him my next best option is Jeremy Maclin this morning. If Nelson wouldn't play or something though I'd be totally screwed so I'm considering just going with Maclin just to be safe.
lol in my hardcore 12 team league Agholor isn't even rostered by anyone.

I'm starting jj over fitzy in one of my money leagues.
Then again I'm taking the ga.ble because Gurley gave me a nice cushion
That's tough. Bennett is like top 5 at his position in fantasy, but I really don't know with these circumstances. Well, I'd probably lean towards Bennett.
nah, benching Nelson in favor of Higgins this week.
Yeah same. No one in my league bothered to even keep him on their bench.

Deciding between Riddick, White, Coleman, Cohen, Howard, and Carson for RBs (half-PPR). I'm thinking about going with White, Cohen, and Carson.
For WRs I chose Nelson and Martavis Bryant, decided to bench Baldwin.
Anyone have advice?
