Guy in my league is trading away Alfred Morris for Jeremy Maclin and Brandon Pettigrew. I won't veto because I don't think it is collusion, but this is pretty bad, right?

Also, would it be bad etiquette to give him shite about it on the league message board?

But to answer your question - I would say its borderline rape but it really would depend on the team need of the guy giving up Morris? Some of those 2 for 1s don't look good on paper until you dig into the lineups. Maybe that guy needs a TE due to a bye week and can't afford to pick a weak guy off waivers an risk losing a game...... So guess it just depends on the situation.

He has a shitty te (marcedes lewis) but I don't think it's that much of an upgrade.

gloat away... tell him the trade sucks even i it doesn't.... thats how our work league is. Bunch of back stabbing, unwarranted vetoing, sneaky collusion, shite talking awesomeness. I say, anything that you do or say as it relates to fantasy football, didn't really happen. Like the Vegas philosophy.

Is the guy giving up Morris gonna make the playoffs? If he is then I say it's his choice. If he isn't then that's a different story. We have a rule that once a team is mathematically eliminated from making playoffs that person is no longer allowed to trade no matter what. the purpose of a trade is to improve both teams, and a person that has no chance of making the playoffs has no real need to try and improve his team.

As a Morris owner myself guy is probably looking at past couple weeks where Morris has failed to put up double digit points in PPR league.
RGIII takes most of goal line carries away and Morris is really a non-factor in passing game. Last week Royster I believe scored from the 3 so Morris ended up with less than 8 points in my PPR league.
