I made a trade - Eli/Charles for Peyton/Colston. A girl in the league vetoed and responded with this email...
Something's not right, seriously consider VETO-ing!!!

hey all...first of all, this is FF and not personal...so with that said...

i think this trade between Tenderfoots and Land of Pleasant Living is really
fishy. First of all, why would LoPL, who already has Aaron Rodgers and
Peyton...want another QB that is lesser than Peyton? Also...trading a lesser
RB for a better WR? That basically means they're giving 2 good players for 1
marginal one???

Plus the teams that are trading are 1st and last placed teams. Does anyone
not find this CRAZY!?!?!?!?! come on people...please take a seriously look
at the proposal and veto!

Happy Thursday:)
I hate people who veto because their team isn't involved.

Who else is supposed to veto? The person you are trading with? Nice fail.

The trade isn't even, but it isn't so bad it's vetoable.

How is it not even? All players are top 10 in their positions.

Trading Gronkowski for Brees is trading the top player at each position, but good lord the trade wouldn't even be close.

Some positions are worth more than others.

Peyton is a much better option than Eli and Charles had ONE monster game and 2 other good ones but doesnt do much for the most part. Colston on the other hand has been a monster 3 of last 4 weeks and that will stay the course for the rest of the season(esp in PPR)

Colston and Charles (before last week) were separated by 12 points and Peyton and Eli were separated by 16. Over 8 games that's not exactly huge, comes out to 3.5 a game.

She would have gotten RB depth and I would have gotten WR depth. Your comparison isn't close.

So you are saying a top 5 WR is worth as much as a top 5 RB?

Interesting, next season set up your draft cheat sheet with that in mind and go for the highest available player on your own board in each round.

You will have stud WRs and absolutely terrible RBs and your team will suck donkey balls.

That is the exact reason why RBs are still worth more, not because they score more points (they actually don't) but because you still have to start just as many RBs (or more) and the RBs that are worth a crap are VERY rare.

Think about it, right after the draft do you trade Ray Rice even up for Andre Johnson or Roddy White (all around 3rd/4th for their position at the draft)?
You'd say a person who did so was retarded right?

Why is a similar trade "top 5 at their position" so much a better idea 8 weeks into the season?

We start 1 RB, 2 WR and a flex. If WRs score more according to you, wouldn't be in my best interest to have more WR studs and go 3 WR and 1 RB starting?

I traded Ray Rice for Wes Welker last year in a PPR, worked out pretty well for me, but by your logic I'm a retard. It's about depth at position. I had RB depth and wanted WR depth.

Colston scored 14 and Charles scored 9 (because of injury) in my league last week. I'd rather have a top receiver than a #1 RB on the worst team in football.
