Now that we’re caught up on trades, let’s look at yesterday’s madness.

3:42PM- The Mania Begins

Jonathan decided to drop “WOJ BOMB” at 10am regarding a trade… and Roberto’s shitty internet decided to delay the trade’s revelation for 6 HOURS. Jesus Roberto get better internet, your autodrafts and terrible skill at setting lineups makes sense now. Anyways… 1-win Jonathan hit desperation mode and awoke Beto from his winless slumber to pull of a 4-for-1 trade. Any 4-for-1 trade is going to be unfair just from the sheer balance of players.. but when you’re in danger of elimination 5 weeks in you gotta make some moves. Evans gives Hurtado a solid WR (at the sacrifice of Tyler Boyd) and ships off some decent RBs to Roberto, who desparately needed a lineup change. This trade’s just icky overall and I can’t really select a winner out of it.
TRADE GRADES: Jon- B-, Beto- B-

4:02PM- Shit Hits the Fan

VETOED

Alvin Kamra has one bad week with Ingram back and Gio decides.. in his own words..

Cue this trade happening.. and while there was some usual people claiming it was a fleece. But then Chuckie just blows the whole damn thing up and vetoes it without the votes and just LEAVES the fucking groupchat..

6:31PM – BRUH

VETOED
Just cause Chuck and Joe brute-forced a trade through doesn’t mean you fucks can too. Adding Marquise Goodwin and Corey Davis does not even begin to make the trade fair. 

7:25PM- Finally, Some Order

I’ve been working on this trade for a minute. Chuckie had been trying to get this trade to go through for a week but kept trying to throw me an injured Will Fuller or Larry Fitz instead of Kenny G with the smoooooth routes. After realizing that his time of trade rapes is coming to an end, and after being emotionally battered from the events of the day. We got the trade down. And I might be tooting my own horn here but this has been the best trade by far this season in terms of fairness and improving both sides. Gio has very quickly assumed the title of the league’s Fleecer now that we have defeated Chuck’s attempts at it.
TRADE GRADE: Wings A, Chuck A-

3:33AM-Booty Call Hours


While the league was sound asleep or busy playing Fortnite, some business got down and Kamara finally got shipped out. Now this is a fair trade right here, a straight up, 1-for-1, top-tier swap that fills in a roster need. Erik has solved his WR problems, but Joe def wins this trade, though, because elite RBs have inherently more value than WRs due to their scarcity, and because he has 3 RB1s in his rotation now (albeit a big hole at WR2).
TRADE GRADE: Joe A, Erik A-
