Yikes...for real? if so did the 9-1 team get kicked out as well?Look, I've already kicked you out of the league, so why are you still posting here? Just move on with your life.What comment?You would have zero credibility with a jury after a comment like that. At that point they would ignore all your blah blah blah as is their right to do. Sorry for you but you just stepped in it and would lose HUGEEEEE.LOL. Suspicious is the best you’ve got. You’d have to prove it to a jury.So lets get this straight....They werent willing to make trades to improve their team and now are 2-8 so NOW at 2-8 they decide to make a trade that appears to be giving up the 2 best rb's in the trade with his buddy? And that is not suspicious to you? I think if this were a jury trial the jury would point at this point where you lost all credibility and lost the case.Thanks for posting the rosters!!Wow!! I didn't expect this to get that much attention. Quite a debate here (even if 60% of it comes from one person).
Because some have asked, here are the full standings (place, record, pts - tiebreaker) and the RBs/WRs on each of the 2 teams involved. Standard start 1-2-2-flex-1-1-1, half ppr.
1) 9-1 1179.80 (Team A in trade)
2) 9-1 1057.50
3) 7-3 1138.74
4) 6-4 1157.40
5) 5-5 1100.30
6) 5-5 1060.80
7) 3-7 1058.84
8) 3-7 1057.20
9) 2-8 942.37
10) 2-8 940.58 (Team B in trade)
I don't know if Team B has officially been eliminated. Technically, he could finish 6-8 and so could the fourth place team and obviously the last place team could pass the fourth place team in points also. But I haven't analyzed if Team B could pass all the others also - I would think not due to them all playing each other.
Team A - Ekeler, Stevenson, Wilson, Henderson, Connor, Hopkins, Schuster, Godwin, Boyd
Team B - Cook, Patterson, Harris, Allgeier, Cooper, K. Allen, Jeudy, Hardman, Thielen, Hollins, M. Brown
Other notes - the money ($100/team) is irrelevant to everyone. It is about bragging rights. It is a local team and these 2 are not the only set of friends in the league, in fact everyone is at least "friendly" even if they don't hang out together. Trade deadline is in 2 days. No voting rules for trades, commissioner decision only, although he solicited everyone's opinion and will take those into account as well as the results of this poll.
Again, Team A would receive Cook & Harris, Team B would receive Connor & Henderson. Commissioner will rule by gametime tonight.
Thanks to everyone who has given their input in this thread!
And this is a bit as I suspected. Cook will be a flex for Team A. Personally I value Stevenson above Cook.
Cook could easily lose out the flex spot to Godwin based on matchup.
Team B is bad at RB. Patterson killed them with injury and Harris has also underperformed with a role that is declining.
But I see that Team B has both Patterson and Allgeier and now they will have 2/3ds of the Ram back field. They may just prefer having a teams backfield. They certainly had time to move on from Atlanta’s backfield but may be lured by their commitment to the run game. The same optics may be at play with the Rams here as well.
But, Team B NEEDED to make moves weeks ago but they held on to injured players like Patterson and Keenan Allen.
They are 2-8 for not making moves and then finally when they make a move they get dragged.
My stance has been I do not need to answer the commissioners questions. You’d need to prove collusion and I’m not compelled to self incriminate regardless of a civil type of suit.
All you have is subjective opinions until the season plays out. If Conner and Cook are at all close in points post trade you’ve lost your argument.
But what are you going to prove? That a 9-1 team continued to win and a 2-8 team continued to lose?
