Guy in my league traded away M. Breida, and got D. Henry and Corey Clement in return.

Last I checked, Breida is leading the league in rushing. The guy who traded him away is 0-3, by the way. Not sure how he would benefit from this.

Thoughts?

If he’s 0-3 he’s probably retarded & just sees 1 back for 2.

You think they’re colluding for these players?

Here’s some angles for you but you’re better off just askin the guy why he traded for em

Breida has a knee

Garappolo is done for year, hurts offense as a whole

Ajayi has fractured in back, clement sees more action

Henry is seeing ample touches and mariota is returning to boost offense

Guy needs RB depth

He has dion Lewis or Ajayi and he wants to own that backfield in case of injury

Yeah, you're right. I guess colluding was the wrong word, but I just see that as a lopsided trade.

My opinion of Derrick Henry probably has a lot to do with it. I do like Clement, though.

Carry on.

No. It's fair. I probably wouldn't do it, but there's a fair argument for the trade to be made.

You people suck. This isn't close to something to bitch about. You are just a control freak a-hole.

Your opinion doesn't mean shite. You're more likely to be wrong than right. This is the nature of the game. If you think you should be able to tell other people how to manage their teams then you shouldn't even be playing the game.

The closest thing to collusion in this case is you vetoing it because it makes another team “better” in your opinion

Man, that's a little harsh. So you personally think it's a fair trade? Everything I've seen (trade value rankings, weekly ratings, ROS ratings, etc), have this as a very lopsided trade.

TRADE VALUE CHART

13 vs 9 just with Breida and Henry. The difference between the two of them? Probably an upside value RB like..Clement. Now, 2 quarters don't equal 50 cents in fantasy, but this isn't the time to bring out the collusion horn. The guy who is getting Breida is clearly winning on the surface, but you can't call collusion because he's winning the trade.

49ers just lost their passing game and defenses will be focused on Brieda, dude is thinking brieda will fall off and trying to get whatever he can now...

Looks like a very fair trade to me.

Buying low on Henry who has gotten 18 carries the past two weeks and has a better QB situation going forward. Should result in better than 3.0 YPC games especially as defense start to physically wear down over the course of the season.

Clement is an OK option right now but especially if Sproles and Ajayi struggle with health all season.

Breida's value just took a massive hit with Jimmy G being lost for the year.

Also if he is 0-3 trading away a guy before his stock potentially plummets is a savvy and smart move.

Dude is trying to run his team to compete and people like OP need to chill out and let him.

Get back to me when he trades away JuJu for Cobb straight up.

Whether or not this is a good or “fair” (bah) trade has zero to do with whether this is collusion. Collusion means one team is intentionally making themselves worse to make another team better. If you think it’s possibly collusion, send a message asking each party to explain why they made the trade. If either party doesn’t have an articulable answer, it’s likely collusion. If both parties have an answer, even if you dont agree with their logic/prognosis/etc, it’s still not collusion.

Stop trying to micromanage your league.
