Fantrax not giving Amon Ra credit for his catch on the Jameson Williams lateral

I’m filing official protest if he doesn’t get another

Weird, yahoo shows it as 1yd rec for Amon-Ra + 41 rec yds for Jamo, I'm guessing they'll get it corrected tonight

Can we discuss the possibility of a playoff trade moratorium?

Maybe only for teams playing?

honestly, why??

what a great time for buyers and sellers... no i was not one who made a trade... but if you need a player, this is a great opportunity for a rebuilding team to see just what a playoff team is willing to pay...

Why?

Have you ever played in a league that allowed trades in the playoffs?

I haven’t aside from this one.

Additionally:

1) fantasy football simulates NFL. NFL (and all other major pro sport leagues) have trade deadlines.

2) how many playoff trades have we had in the history of this league? Doesn’t seem to be creating opportunity like you suggest.

3) a deadline actually does create trade opportunity for rebuilders.

Every dynasty league I have ever played in, there are more trades the week of the deadline than any other time. Often, there are more deadline deals than the rest of the year combined.

I definitely would have traded for a WR this year if there was a deadline.

4) if we are making a deadline, we are talking 3 weeks of no trades

5) just pretty frustrating watching your opponent execute a big trade right before the championship game. At some point, what you got should be what you got.

I agree with you. Although I never liked the simulation argument. But I am not going to get into that here.

But personally I like the idea of trades anytime and by anyone. As long as there is no collusion.

Which I guess it looks worse the later the trade is made. But again, I don’t want to get into that discussion here either

I am also not against it enough to make a stink. So in a vote, I’d just go with the majority. Or if anyone has any strong opinions either way I would just go with them because there is no reason to make this an actual issue.
