In our 6 member league i was proposed a trade of Randy moss (the other team involved) for C Palmer. I accepted the trade. A few of the other members are disputing the trade saying that it is an unfair trade. I believe that it is a fair trade. I already have t brady and j cutler as my 2 qbs. The other member has t edawrds and j flacco. He does not want to send a response.
I wanted to add that in our league the settings are qb 25 passing yards 1 point. tds 6 points pics -2 points WR 10 receibing yards 1 point, 10 rushing 1 point, tds 6 points the person who wants c palmer has trent edwards and joe flacco on his roster already. Our league uses a 2 qb 3 wr system. Its on yahoo on a head 2 head system.
THE JUDGE RULES AS FOLLOWS:
The proposed trade is Randy Moss for Carson Palmer. Moss has 165 receiving yards and no touch downs. Palmer has thrown for 432 yards, with 3 touchdowns versus 4 interceptions.
Currently, Moss is only in the top 25 among wide receivers in fantasy points, which is much lower than his projections. But a close look reveals he has been targeted 23 times, which is in the top 5. I think that is a better measure of his future value the rest of the season.
Palmer is currently only in the top 20 among quarterbacks, but he is showing signs of improvement after a horrible week 1, and a decent week 2 with 3 touchdowns.
I’d rather be the team getting Moss in this trade, but that’s not the issue. The question is whether there is any evidence of collusion between fantasy teams or if the trade is so one-sided as to upset the balance of the league. No evidence of collusion has been offered, and after only two weeks, there is no way either team is out of contention and can be accused of “dumping” all their best players. Teams must be allowed to take chances, and it is possible that Moss will regress to his Raider-days statistics, and Palmer will go on a tear.
The trade should be allowed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
