Here's the scenario:

Team A (3rd place) trades:
Tyreek Hill
Zeke Elliott
Emmanuel Sanders

Team B (9th place) trades:
Stefon Diggs
Leveon Bell
Jared Cook

Team A is the dad...Team B is the son.
Team B can't make the playoff, yet gives his top guy at each position.

This is BS am I right?

This is why you need trade deadlines. And teams out of th playoffs shouldn’t be trading with anyone. I’d be pissed

Agreed...there is a deadline and it's this week. Will be my first and last year playing in this league.

In a vacuum this isn't that bad, but knowing the scenario (father/son, one team already eliminated) that's pretty sketchy. I'd definitely look further into this. Seems very fishy.

Team out of playoff contention should not be trading.
Except for maybe dynasty and keeper leagues.

The fact that the team that is fighting for playoffs is including Zeke in a trade to someone that can’t make the playoffs is the biggest red flag.

Yep...Zeke for Bell (given Zeke's suspension) and the fact that he's going to a non play off team makes this shady.

The ONLY way it can be justified is if Zeke went in 3rd round, or later, and its a keeper league. Then it makes some sense for the son, if he's looking ahead to next season.

Only a team that has locked up playoffs and thinking they will make it to ship should be looking to acquire Zeke. Unless there's keeper implications like another said, it's BS.

Wouldn’t let this go through in my league. A 9th place team has no use for Zeke thus has no value

My league says teams out of playoff contention are locked from trading or dropping major players. No one tries anything sneaky though

Unless Zeke was drafted in the 3-5 round and its a keeper league. That team could be planning ahead for next year. Even Zeke in the second round is a good keeper option.

I think is the first time I've seen a collusion question this year that was actually pretty damn obvious it is collusion.

Unless, like others have said, it's a keeper league.

Still sounds like collusion though.

This. i leave the deadline until playoffs because of high scorer implications, but i expressly state that teams ineligible for playoffs cant trade.

Yep 100% collusion. I would vote to veto and remove both from the league after the season. a 9th place team trading for a suspended RB in the heart of their season is bullshite.

Also trade deadlines should be much earlier in the season. NFL has a 16 week regular season and their deadline has already passed, most fantasy leagues only play 13 regular season games...
