12 man, PPR, 6 teams make the playoffs.

I am currently 3-5 and the second highest scorer.

The league leader 7-1 engaged me about a trade to help me get to the playoffs since he has it all but locked, in exchanged he recieves Saquon and I get Eleker at the trade deadline.

Today he sends me Eleker, Metcalf, and Kelce and I send him Taysom, D Henderson, and Amari Cooper

To clarify - we swap back everyone at the trade deadline except Eleker and I send over Saquon.

eta: the rest of the league is livid, but we have a no veto policy.

I would kick both of you out if you tried that in my league.

Accept the trade and don't send him shite back for being a jackass for proposing such a thing.

How does you making the playoffs help him in any way when he is 7-1?

This. Dear participants in fantasy football, collusion between owners is cheating. Fantasy football is a game, one normally played with a group of friends or colleagues. Are you going to be the a-hole who cheats in a game among friends?

If you are, you are unlikely to be in that friend group long.

How is it cheating? He benefits and I benefit. Both still trying to win.

I don’t like it at all. Seems shady. But at the end of the day, what’s stopping anyone else in the league from doing something similar if they are mad about it?

So yall swap back players that are basically the same guy. It's pointless to him. Also, there should be a trade deadline in the league to avoid this scenario all together.

COLLUSION between two managers

You should both be kicked from the league and you should atone for your sins

Seriously, two teams collaborating together to do player swaps is one of the largest forms of a-hole when it comes to fantasy football

The trade, as well as the person who engaged you, should be banned. I'd probably ban you as well for being dumb enough to think that trade is okay.

Because you’re screwing over your other league members.

Collusion is unacceptable

You both would not be invited to play in my league the following year

To further clarify, borrowing players is textbook collusion.

Cheating might not be the right terminology but it’s very much bullshite

I'm not a commissioner anymore thankfully, but even though I was never one to veto a trade, I would 100% kick you both out at the end of the season if I was commissioner. That is 100% collusion.
