I'd trust DeSean to stay healthy over Gates staying healthy. If DeSean would likely ride your bench most weeks, then by all means.

Yeah, DeSean was mostly depth for me. Went ahead and did it.

I'm in (desultory2).

In.

 

[slayer202]

assuming we fill up the 10 spots, can people also post whether the league gets full before they get a chance to enter. still trying to gauge how many spots is ideal

 

[dougp]

I'm in.

7 entries so far.

 

[T2urtle]

Ppr league.

Andre Johnson or Brandon cooks.

Rivers or cousins this week.

I have Andre and rivers in at the moment but something tells me to gamble...

 

[Inspector Jihad]

This deal just went thru in my league. Forte, julius Thomas and ladairius green for brees, spiller and ertz. Who got the better deal?

 

[Imported]

The guy getting Forte and Thomas, which seems borderline criminal.

Well depends on the scoring and whatnot, but I would want the Forte side of that deal.

KT

 

[Inspector Jihad]

That's what I thought too but these guys are saying that the guy who gave up forte is committing trade rape. I think there is a reason I'm in first place

 

[Inspector Jihad]

It's standard non ppr scoring.

 

[MisterJackson]

This moron in our league just traded away Megatron for DeSean Jackson and Martellus Bennett. Am I wrong in thinking that's a bit trade rapey???

 

[Inspector Jihad]

That's collusion

We are still at 7 entries.

Andre Johnson or Brandon cooks.

I'd start Cooks and Cousins

 

[MisterJackson]

That's collusion

I know for fact it's one player taking advantage of another who doesn't care too much about playing. The guy giving up Megatron is a dentist with a new wife and kid, so he doesn't pay much attention to ffb. Which kinda pisses me off, because I put in work and still have a ton of other obligations, but whatever.

I did check with our commish and ask if I can make a counter offer even after this trades been accepted (it's now in the 48 hour veto review process), and he said yes. So I made a better offer for Megatron. We'll see what happens. Honestly, I just really dislike the dude who'd be getting Megatron, and would chalk it up as a win if I can snake Calvin out from under his smug ass.

And that's *not* collusion?

I understand that it doesn't look good on paper. But the guy getting bennett, who does he have for tight end? If he had Pitta or Reed or a dozen other guys who have done crap at that position I could see the reasoning behind it.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

Out bidding isn't collusion.

 

[MisterJackson]

Out bidding isn't collusion.

Okay, then I stand corrected. It's collusion. The guy getting Bennett has crap for TE (Jared Cook, that's it)

So what I did was offer two counter offers. The first, I think, might be too much to offer...I give Bush (I'm solid on RB), E. Sanders and Kelce (I have Gronk) for Megatron and whatever RB he was gonna drop to slot Bush.

Offer two: E. Sanders, Josh Gordon and Kelce straight up for Megatron.

Still haven't heard back. Hoping he likes the second offer better.

 

[MisterJackson]

Nevermind, I see this is an ankle thing with Calvin, and not his usual knee stuff.

Bye weeks here we come
