There's no bloody backs in the market

I've now voted against the trade because apparently CJ Anderson is done for the season (@RapSheet.) Even if that's not accurate the uncertainty tilts the trade equity too firmly in the favour of the person trading CJ away.

I have voted against the trade on this occasion because Motorbiker did not deliberately accept it. However, i strongly feel that voting against it because it became unfair, is in itself unfair. The trade was offered after news broke that CJ Anderson was injured, clearly hoping that the injury would be minor, but taking into account the risk that it could be season ending. The person trying to obtain CJ Anderson was taking the risk, which then backfired against them. Had the subsequent news came out that Anderson would be healthy and playing 100% in two weeks, they then would have significantly benefited from the trade.

From what i have read the trade veto should only be used to stop collusion or someone dumping good players after giving up hope for rest of the season

I've never thought of it that way. Food for thought certainly, I suppose I saw it as like a 'cooling off period' when the trade is up for vote and maybe it shouldn't function in that manner. Thankfully it's a pretty niche situation and is quite unlikely to come about year after year.

Don't know what I'm gonna do next week without Brady and Gronk

Damn, that's gonna hurt but there are random QBs blowing up on noones team every week.

I need Bailey to score me 4 points in the late game it seems... I'll be pissed if he doesn't manage that tbh.

I offered the trade immediately after the broncos game when CJ just came off his best rushing performance of the week, but before the news broke that he was going to miss extended time. Running backs as good as CJ was in fantasy because they are a valuable source of 15+ points per week guarenteed are more valueable than a TE whom I picked off waivers as one week cover for Greg olsen, and a talented slot receiver in a crowed receiving corps.

None of this collusion baloney. I offered the trade to make my team better.

I thought there would be an option where I would have to agree to it, if Motorbiker accepted it, but there was no options.

Obviously with two running backs down to meniscus tears in their knees, I am still in need of running back help though.Don't make the mistake of thinking I've given up on this fantasy season.

I was not suggesting you were colluding at all.

I am glad to hear you are not giving up

Maybe before next year we need to look at how the trading rules are set up and see if they can be improved to avoid similar situations and long delays after offers are accepted

To be honest...the best way to avoid ridiculous trades (and yes, they can and do kill leagues) is to have all of them on Commissioner's review. I have only once seen a trade overturned when the league reviews, simply because it needs a majority to vote against and you can't trust that everyone will be active. I have also been working long hours and having intermittent internet, but I try to make sure that my fantasy team is in at least a position to compete.

Not helped that, in two leagues, I played myself by drafting Adrian Peterson, instead of David Johnson, and Julio Jones in another league when both options were on the table. Among other deplorables...Mark Ingram and Jamaal Charles. I'm basically the Chargers at fantasy, right now. :/

There is nothing wrong with drafting Jamel Charles, he is totally going to be a RB1 for the rest of the season... i hope

I am just hoping the Jacquiz Rodgers and DeMarco Murray injury rumours are exaggerated otherwise might team might from from 3 top ten RB to 0 with Blount losing carries
