Thank you for the information so far, please keep it coming. Just some background on the two players. This is an office league, so we are all co-workers (as you can imagine, productivity in the office this week has been down considerably ). These two individuals involved in the trade have adjacent cubicles and more than one of the league members have alluded to this being collusion based on their interactions they have had in dealing with the Team 2 owner and chatter in the office from other co-workers.

Need help with a heated debate this week in my office's FFL. This is a non-keeper, standard PPR scoring, 10-team league. Team 1 is currently 1-2 and Team 2 is currently 3-0. See Lineups and Trades Offered below. This week both trade proposals were submitted for review and vetoed by the league which requires half of the teams not involved in the trade (4) to veto the trade. After the veto, we had a meeting to allow Team 1 to present their motivations for the trade. Team 1 is concerned because of not having Big Ben for the next 5-6 weeks and Stafford is a name he knows (relatively new to FF). Teams not involved in the trade have pointed out that there are a number of QB FAs available (Fitzpatrick, Bortles, Smith, Kaepernick, Bridgewater, Winston) who are scoring slightly better or lower through 3 weeks of 2015 without having to give up Charles and Hopkins. After our discussion, Team 1 and Team 2 resubmitted the same trades for acceptance. The league is tired of dealing with this and have left it up to me, as commissioner, to ultimately let the trade go through or veto it. Seeking opinions outside of the league before making a final decision. It would be much appreciated if you could take a minute and give me your opinion. Thanks.

Thanks for the input so far. I think I am seeing a trend.

I can start 2 RBs, 2WRs and a flex (RB or WR). Quick scoring point, 1 ppr, 1 pt. for 10 yds. rushing/rec., 6pts. TD. I think that covers the basics. Here are my options: RBs: Forte (vs. Pack), C. Johnson (vs. Jax), MJD (vs. Tenn.) & Willis McG (vs. NYG) WRs: Royal (vs. ATL), Steve Smith (vs. DET) or DeSean Jax (Vs. Cincy) Right now I I have Forte, Johnson, MJD, Royal and Smith in my lineup. Any thoughts?

Select 3 or these 4 LBs to start for Week 7: 1. David Harris, NYJ vs. Raiders 2. Thomas Davis, CAR vs. Saints 3. Ray Lewis, BAL vs. Dolphins 4. LaMarr Woodley vs. Bengals Scoring: Tackle - 2 Asst tackle - 1 Sack - 3 Fumble recovery - 3 Forced Fumble - 2 Interception - 4 Safety - 3 Pass defended - 1.5 Defensive TD - 6
