Random FF Thoughts

[Chef99]

Just a general fantasy ethics discussion I wanted to see some people's thoughts on, no reason just curious where people's heads are at.

Today I got a completely unbalanced trade offer where a guy was gonna send me Terry McLaurin/Breece Hall for Josh Downs/Evan Engram. I got the alert and before I could press "accept", he had already cancelled. Clearly he made a mistake. Like we're talking the deal was offered and within 30 seconds cancelled. But what if I hit accept in time? Would that be wrong to take advantage of a mistake like that? I only play in a couple of leagues, this year just two, one with friends and another with randos and the deal came from the rando league. I don't think I would have hit accept in the friend league because I know these people and I suppose I'd feel some type of way. I guess I could gloat at their stupidity, but I'm not that kind of guy. I probably wouldn't feel as bad about it against a rando but the more I think about it, I probably would have tried to send him some other players in a separate deal to make it more fair or something.

So no judgement either way, what would yall do in that scenario? Take the deal, their mistake their loss. Not take the deal, try to work out something more fair.

In good conscience, If he said he made a mistake, I'd have the Commish revoke the trade.

But damn, It must've been so cool to get an offer like that!

To me, sportsmanship calls for undoing a trade such as this if the other guys says they screwed up immediately.

I’ve agreed to undo several deals over the years.

I've been part of multiple deals where the discussions have gone back and forth and pieces have been added, removed, then added again, then removed again, then the actual final deal ends up being wrong.

I've never had a second thought about squaring up post-trade to fix a mistake. But if the offer came from the other owner, they need to reach out and tell me it's a mistake, cause if the deal makes my team better and they offered it, I'm hitting accept

Olave..he gone

 

[Chef99]

Who the hell is Chris Manhertz??

 

[Chef99]

CeeDee Lamb, tailback.

Why the Cowboys didn't do this with Trey Lance at the beginning of the season is beyond me.

 

[Chef99]

Dak done for the day.

 

[TREFF]

I guess now we're seeing why Winston was behind Watson. He's not exactly any better

And that's a horrible thought. I don't see Watson having a job next year, unless it's purely a contract thing.

 

[Chef99]

Who the hell is Theo Johnson???

 

[Chef99]

CeeDee Lamb looks like he's in agony right now.

Dak done for the day.

Anyone know why?

Hammy. Lamb has a shoulder thing now.

Well, Zamir did score a TD...on your bench.

You really don't know if he's the best yet.

It's funny that we all were down on this rookie class, but there have been quite a few good ones this season.

Tracy and Irving are the only ones doing anything of note

Ray Davis has become a must roster guy in Dynasty. Corum, Braelon Allen, Vidal, Wright, Estime are showing potential, with Corum and Allen being valuable handcuffs. Some of these guys are only 21, 22 years old. A lot of potential in this rookie class.
