Vetos

How can you prove collusion?

Ok, but how do you know?

It’s not like it was week 8 and he knew he wasn’t making the playoffs

How do you prove it?

Dude traded mack and marvin Jones for hunt and Hopkins. In week 3.

When was this? I’m not saying it was a smart trade but I can actually argue this isn’t collusion depending on when it was. With Hunt not being the starter behind Chubb. He may have thought and needed the starting rb in Marlon Mack and used Hopkins to get that and hunt to get Jones. It’s lopsided but doesn’t prove collusion. Especially if this is when Hunt was suspended.

Do you dropped out in the middle of the year? In a year of COVID and rampant injury? I’m calling bs.

The only time our league has vetoed a deal was the following instance three years ago:

Week 8 (both teams on the playoff bubble):

Team A has their top WR on bye
Team B has their top RB on bye

Team A trades a RB to Team B in exchange for a WR

Week 9:

Team A has their top RB on bye
Team B has their top WR on bye

Team A trades the exact same WR back to team B in exchange for the exact same RB


The league vetoed the move in week 9 and forced the two teams to keep their original week 8 trade.

That is the way we proved collusion and what I refer to as "clear collusion."

Sounds like that was mutually beneficial.

Yep, that's collusion for sure.

What’s your distinction between the two? Most lopsided trades in my experience are vetoed not because they are unfair but because it’s conspiracy collusion to some people.. I’ve had two trades vetoed due to “lopsided” trades.. it is what it is

Wouldn’t that be a normal trade and not collusion? Sounds like both teams benefitted

I mean I’ve traded someone who is hurt to a team that didn’t know he was hurt.. sometimes people aren’t as invested as us fantasy nerds
