DFWallace Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Man, I'm hammered this weekend with the BYE week... I lose RB-Ray Rice(29 PPG) and WR-S. Moss(14 PPG)... And playing the # 3 ranked team in my league. (I'm 4-0, and he's 3-1). If my proposed trade goes through today, I would get WR-S. Smith of Car(24.5 PPG).... I need him this weekend...won't happen.

kevinkris Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Yeah this week is tough, a lot of good players on byes. My one team I lost all 3 of my rbs, rice, hillis, f. jones! Also lost witten. Going to be a tough matchup this week but I figure after this week, it will be smooth sailing in terms of bye weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a dumb question from a first year FF member... if this trade I proposed is accepted by the other person, would the player I receive (WR-S.Smith) be eligible to play for me this weekend?

It depends on how your league handles trades, if they go through the next day you would have him, some leagues have a 3 day, or 2 day waiting period.

Darkhorse1251 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 yup, I lost Romo, Rice, Austin (injured anyway). Definitely not in bad shape though, someone stupidly dropped Josh Freeman, so looks like with that pickup I should be making it 5-0...hopefully.

DFWallace Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 My first FFL participation, but long-time NFL nut. I'm in first place at 4-0 and the only undefeated team. Think I'm noticing people are afraid to trade with me... even though I break down the trade for them with the numbers, etc. & show it's a 'win-win' for both of us... That phrase from Crosby, Stills, & Nash song applies.... "Paranoia runs deep..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Dang it... "Trade Review Period 3 Days / 5 days before players available" Me want him Sunday.... what is there to review? does your league have some outside commission reviewing trades? you guys act like your filing for unemployment or requesting money from the gov't review period, whatever. Change your league name to "mommy holds my hand" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkirc Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Call the commisiioner and ask them to process the trade quicker. Five days is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Lost 7 guys to a bye in one of my leagues this week, with a 5 player bench. I'm going to have to either release some decent players or go in without a kicker or TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 whoa, did you draft with Byes in mind at all in that league? I've already lost three players due to injury for the season and all the guys I picked up to replace them have their bye this week. I couldn't believe it when I looked at my lineup Tuesday morning for this coming week. I think I'm just going to have to punt the week.

Seahawks21 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Terrible luck there, Seahawks21... Thanks but it isn't that bad. At least this year I have a reasonable excuse for having a terrible fantasy football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
