re: Person in my league gets Dez Bryant for Darren Sproles...

Yes it's a PPR.
But guys, I get that Sproles is a good fantasy runningback (and in real life as well) but my main concern here is that this guy is trading away arguably his best receiver, which in turn makes his WR corp poo-poo, for a guy who may ride the bench most weeks (unless he plans to throw in Sproles every week).
Regardless, he's weak at WR both starting lineup and bench-wise - but strong with his starting RBs, yet weak with his bench.
Why would you trade for a position you're already good with if you're making your WR corp straight garbage?
Like I said, it's a father and son doing this deal. The son is my age, has no job, and spends all of his time with sports. His dad works M-F and plays FF as a leisurely hobby.
I think he just came up with all of these facts and numbers and said "it's a good deal...trust me!"
To those still saying "learn how to use the veto" or "learn fantasy football", look at my post a few notches up. Veto-power is for situations just like these, where one team seems to gain an unfair advantage by preying on less knowledgable people. It is NOT for collusion purposes only. It is to keep the league fair and even for all...
...how is a team ALREADY with Vick, Fred Jackson, Forte, Roddy White, Aaron Hernandez getting another stud in Dez because his daddy gave him to him fair? Are you not seeing this crucial part of the argument?

you can't be serious.
Darren Sproles is fricking tearing it up. How do you see this as unfair?
if you are insecure about a father/son combo in your league, dont join it.
Sproles is a must start in PPR leagues until he proves otherwise.

this is actually not as bad as people are making it out to be.. ESPECIALLY if it's PPR.. also especially if returns count as well..
if i could have any rb from new orleans on my squad i am taking sproles hands down. he is also durable.
dez has all the talent in the world.. atleast thats what i hear.. but exactly how consistent is he fantasy wise. does he have any injury concerns.. can he disappear in games?
sproles in the flex is a decent option. don't get me wrong i would prefer dez on my squad, but this isn't the craziest trade.. definitely not veto-worthy.

How do you know the one getting Sproles is not going to turn around and trade one of his current starting RBs for a higher level WR? He could trade one of his current starters for lets say...Vincent Jackson and start Sproles and Vincent Jackson.
Would that not be helping his team?
You are assuming that Sproles will ride his bench. That probably is not going to be the case here.
