Fantasy Football Trade Advise - Travis Kelce for Justin Watson / Zach Ertz

[commishbob]

Commish of my league for 43 years. That’s a lousy trade. In fact it’s a horrible trade.

But my philosophy has always been that you can’t legislate against stupidity. Unless you are sure it’s collusion I’d let it go thru.

Agreed....a 1st round pick for a Free Agent and an 7th round pick...no go....

Unless you suspect collusion, I don't think you should block any trade. Back when I played FF, there was an overzealous commish who blocked a trade, and it was very divisive among the members, really killed the vibe and pitted guys against each other. Whatever you decide, just be transparent with the members about your decision.

And I'll also say that you never know what'll happen in the NFL. Sometimes a trade may look lopsided and it'll end up turning out the opposite of what you thought. Everyone is one play away from an injury. And the guys making the trade are each doing what they think will make their team better. As long as there's no collusion, it really shouldn't matter what you or anyone else thinks about the "fairness" of the deal.

All just my opinion though. Obviously this is a divisive issue in FF.

Trading a TE for a TE (the other player is just a useless throw-in to open a roster space for the other team).

Ertz might have a break-out season in the Cardinals offense, but it just doesn't make sense on any level.

Kelce is now Mahomes #1 target, after Tyreek Hill left the team.

Not sure there's another player in the league I'd trade straight up for Kelce, unless you're really desperate at one of the other positions and you already have somebody like an Ertz, George Kittle on your team, to at least make up some of that production.

Maybe Mark Andrews, if you don't think his breakout season last year was an anomaly....and he IS younger then Kelce, if you're in a dynasty league.

It's either collusion, or one of those managers has some sort of real emotional attachment to Ertz.
