There is no way to confirm collusion, but it's still a little fishy

12 team $$$ league(18th year)

Husband(0-5) trades

R Fitzpatrick and A Foster

to

Wife(3-2)

C Newton and M Ingram.

the kicker is: the Wife already owns Rodgers

Looks a little fishy, no?

 
probably not a good idea to play in leagues with both husband and wife, or at least make a rule they can't trade with each other just to avoid any uncertainity

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but are you suggesting that the wife improved her backup QB?
 
This is straight out of The League

Just rewtached the episode where Pete is the expert witness and Ruxin asks him under oath if Kevin and his wife colluded in their trade

What a great show

 
Husband got a top QB and a serviceable RB while wife got a top RB and a serviceable QB.... looks pretty close to me.

Owner 2 trades a top-5 QB (depending on scoring system) to get A Foster who was the #1 RB last year but hasn't lived up to that this year. She already has the #1 QB, so she doesn't need Cam, but she gets a decent back-up in return.Owner 1 trades an (under-performing) stud RB for a stud QB, and gets a rookie RB who, while not overly impressive, has shown a nose for the end-zone recently.

What, exactly, looks fishy?

I agree with everything you said.....but they can't trade? The husband/wife owners came to be after one of our founding memebers, the commissioners father, lost his battle with cancer. The commishes sister took over his team. It was an honorary thing at first, that just seemed to stick(she's a pretty astute fantasy player)The part that seems fishy is the husbands 0-5(0-6 after this week) start......why make a trade unless you're trying to help your wife out.Her I trust, him....not so much.

I'll eat my hat if Cam finishes as a top QB

Maybe teams without a win shouldn't be allowed to trade. Or, move the trade deadline up to week 4.
 
Trade doesn't look completely off to me. Then again, this is why I just won't trade with my wife in my league. It can lead to too many questions and ends up being a hassle more than anything else.

 
If you don't want them making trades, don't let them be in the league.

This trade is perfectly fine, I'm not even sure which side I prefer.

I don't see how that's relevant - she's the one trading away Newton. So the deal is Newton for Foster which seems pretty fair. I do think the husband's likely helping her out a little since he's 0-5, but this deal isn't all that bad on its face - especially if he needs a QB.
 
thats def fishy

for all that cant see it theyre blind or stupid

the main upgrade is foster over ingram. the qb's is to throw u guppies off

delete both teams immediately!

Is this a Dynasty or Keeper league? If so, you can't even question the trade.

But with the way each of those players has individually performed this season, not sure which side is getting the better deal here. Pretty fair trade if you ask me..

I can see the winning team preferring Foster over Ingram obviously, and giving up Newton and Ingram's future to gain Fitz and Foster current season would certainly be the angle for a winning team if this was a dynasty league, but nothing is certain with this trade.

 
I'm gonna go against the grain here and say.... granted there's no proof, but I'm betting almost for sure they colluded.

And to say that the trade is close is to me, questionable at best.

Foster was hurt, but he's definitely been playing well upon his return.

She already had Rodgers so really had no need for Newton.

I think this one is pretty clear cut to be honest with you.

The husband's season is over. They were pretty shrewd in how they did it but I don't think there's much doubt, in my mind anyway, that the husband helped his wife out since his own season is lost. May as well try to win some money for the household any way you can. That's my read 100 percent.

am I reading this right? Thats a decent deal, Cam is having a monster season, and maybe the husband has legitimate back up RBs

What you seem to be saying is that bad teams trading with good teams and/or people with close personal relationship trading is collusion.This is just a smart trade for her. she has a relative wealth at QB and is exchanging it for RB help to make a championship run. Isn't that kinda what she should do?

That's a pretty good deal if your hat is made out of steak.

He started Ingram and Grant this week.
 
Looks fine to me. Maybe if it was Week 1 the trade could be considered lopsided.

Some of the best banter/smack talk occur between husband and wife teams. It's actually pretty entertaining.

 
Can my wife and I join your league? And if there is room, my son, and live in cousin would like to join as well.

Some people take the ethical side of it seriously. I play in a $ league with my wife (went 1-2 last year... awesome). Yes, I give her some advice on some things, but for the most part she manages her own team. Anything she'd ask me ("would you start ____ over ___?") is nothing that I haven't asked my male friends who I compete against as well.Yes, there could be collusion issues, but there's always that risk ("I'll trade you Cam Newton for $5, or for 10% if you win it all", etc.) with money.The real question is how are people reading this and thinking she's trading FOR Cam Newton.It's a balanced trade. Good QB + mediocre RB for Good RB + Mediocre QB.

in PPR? take a look for yourself.
 
I take that deal if I am the husband without even knowing the roster. Stop policing other adults. It's sad really.

 
let's say this exact same trade went down.....but it was the husband and somebody else in the league....

would you have a problem with it......?

What I'm saying is that it looks to me that the hubby helped his wife out - making her team stronger while in essence tanking his own season for the "house's benefit". Not sure I can be any more clear than that.I can understand why she did the trade. I can't understand why he would - unless..... see my above comments.

If this is dynasty league play (which has not been determined yet unless I missed it) this is a fantastic trade for both sides.. If redraft, there isn't a reason to make any trades at all on Hubby's side is there? But that trade doesn't really hurt his team either..

Yer nuts if you think that trade doesn't hurt him. Seriously. Basically Foster for Ingram 'cuz Fitzpatrick is definitely holding his own compared to Newton.
