Would that be considered a rental?

Should a manager be allowed to trade back for a player he sent away a week ago? What if it’s apart of a 3 team trade?

I got bijan traded to me for swift and Ferguson and of course I’m commish so everyone is pissed he denied their trades and accepted mine. Now they want to veto the trade is it just being bitterness or am I (finessing him) as they put it. Also Ferguson is jumping right into his starting te slot which he needed

I'm the commissioner of a 14 man PPR league and this is our 5th season. We started as sophomores in high school and now we are sophomores in college. One person in the League goes to Georgia and Another goes to Florida and they want to do a trade based upon the outcome of the Florida Georgia game this weekend. The bet is if Georgia wins the Georgia Manager gets David Montgomery in return for Tyrone Tracy but if Florida wins the Florida Manager gets Jahmyr Gibbs for free. The Georgia Manager is 6-2 and looking to get Montgomery as a premier handcuff rb3 before the playoffs and the Florida Manager is 3-5 and desperate to add pieces to try and make a playoff push. We've always been kind of relaxed on rules but against clear collusion. Should I allow this?

There is a player in my league that dropped CMC for Devin Singletary. This is a 1-7 player, who probably got sick of CMC on IR. While a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE move, it doesn’t look like they’re giving up. They’re still fielding the best team they can field. I have the most FAB, (besides the manager that dropped them and one other member who refuses to ever touch CMC) I’m basically guaranteed to get him. Do I pick him up, or tell the manager who dropped him how to manage his team and CMC is not a droppable player in our league?

*the manager who dropped him, I do not have his phone number and is another manager’s brother, so I won’t be accused of collusion.

**the CMC hating manager might’ve put a bid on CMC so by controlling the OG CMC manager I am now getting involved with 2 teams in play.

**the OG CMC manager has played fantasy football for at least 3 years that I know of, and has done okay in previous years.

On ESPN a league member claimed a defense while he had an open bench spot but had hockenson on IR

When claiming the defense off waivers the error: Maximum roster size would be exceeded popped up

It didn’t let him add the player what is the issue here?

Hey folks,

Would like your opinions on leagues that limit your ability to roster certain positions. For example in a super flex league that imposes a rule that you can only carry 3 qbs from 3 different teams. If you want more than 3 then at least 1 of them have to be from the same team (backup) as another quarterback already on your roster.

This cannot be done via the platform it must be policed by the league / commissioner. The rationale is to avoid managers hoarding quarterbacks in this scenario.

Is this something that is bad for leagues due to the policing nature of the rule or do you see any other pros versus cons?

So in regards to a recent post about a commish being suspected of loaning a player, a lot of commenters said something along the lines of "this is the exact definition of collusion," to which I would agree. But for instances where it is not so black and white, it got me thinking of what is really the definition of collusion with respect to fantasy football? What are the black and whites that is collusion in every league and what should be up for a case by case interpretation based on the league and their set precedents? The Merriam-Webster definition of collusion is as follows:

secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose

So what do you guys think is a flexible and working definition of collusion that can concisely cover all the basics of collusion, and preferably as well as the edge cases involved. TIA

Hi all, I am in a league with a commissioner who is trying to push a trade through that I and others believe is collusion as stated in the title. It is a 12 person, 2 QB league so quarterbacks are scarce. Here is the trade:

Team 1 (commish): receives Jared Goff

Team 2: receives drake London

This trade is only supposed to be a loan through byes to circumvent the 2QB starting roster and most are upset about it but he is still planning to push it through. You could argue the trade might be fair because of the rosters, but the other trade partner is not very good and this really doesn’t help his roster much.

To the commissioners in this sub, what action do you recommend we take? Quitting isn’t an ideal option, but wondering if there is any other recourse. TIA for taking the time to respond.

I can’t be the only one who gets called for collusion/cheating for any trade I make. Especially if it looks on the surface like I “won” the trade. It really kills the euphoria of making a trade when they whine in the chat (Usually the same 4 people). Normally I’d drink their tears but after a while it’s draining. Can’t be alone on this.

Is there a way that I can get a trade sent through on a Tuesday? A trade was accepted, but it won’t let me uphold it until after the waiver period starts. Is there anyway to circumvent this?

Hey everyone!

I am a 2nd year commissioner for a friends and family league (12-man). We did a standard redraft format last year. At the end of last year, some people liked the idea of a keeper league with the current rosters. After a vote, it was a 9-3 vote in favor of a keeper format so we went with that.

Mid-year, I had received some feedback about people's thoughts on keeper and threw up an anonymous poll to garner feedback on what people thought about keeper. It was a text response poll, so lots of unique and great feedback. Funnily enough most of it was negative, even from some of the successful teams this year.

Mid season I made a pull for next year to go back to redraft once again or edit the rules for keeper. The vote passed 7-5 in favor of going back to redraft. So, for the 2025 season we will be redraft and hopefully stay that way lol.

My reason for this post was to see if this is something that anyone has experienced before? Would you guys have only swapped it back to redraft if it was unanimous? I would appreciate any feedback you guys can give.

We had a manager stop setting his lineup, so he has been booted and the commissioner stated that he'll be taking over his roster ROS.

I interpreted this to mean that he would set the lineup each week and let the team coast.

He is now receiving trade offers for players on that roster and I find that extremely suspect. I don't believe he should be entertaining trades on that roster at all.

What are your standards for this?

We won't find a replacement manager at this point.

EDIT:

Paid league, competitive, the roster in question is 2-6 and I feel like we're robbing someone's grave looking to pick whatever meat is left on the bones.

I want to do a 2 team playoff (top 2 teams go straight to the championship like old school baseball) but apparently you have to have at least 4 teams in the playoffs

Edit: do any fantasy Platforms allow 2 team playoff settings? Maybe I'll just do small leagues on those platforms.

10 team league; been around for about 10 years. Different owners in and out and a handful of us (5?) in since Day 1. About 6 years ago, the wife of my best friend joined as owner. She’s been perfectly fine until she took his kid and split out of state a week ago. The league is in agreement she should be removed as owner. (We are taking sides) What’s the best way you handle this with no replacement owner on deck and to maintain league fairness in the case of vacating wins etc with an unbalanced schedule?

EDIT/UPDATE: Of course her money will be refunded. It’s a $50 Friends & Family league, not the most serious or cutthroat. She’s just not welcome anymore, end of story.

Sleeper has provided no notice that they did it, or justification as to why it was changed or why it was wrong before. The NFL lists no stat correction. The best I can tell, roughly 1 point was added to Bijan Robinson's total. This has now changed the outcome of a game in our league, and is causing all sorts of drama. Any idea what's going on?

Hey guys,

Looking at a conflict in our 12 Team SF League. This league has no waiver wire, its a free for all for add drops. Team 1 is known for throwing out trades in all directions throughout the year. A couple days ago he sends out the trade below:

Team 1 (Receives):

Diggs and Etienne

Team 2 (Receives):

Downs, Pollard and Irving

The trade was accepted at 10pm last night (6 hours after the injury occurred). The League is split on whether this trade should go through or not. We don't have a veto and as commish I don't like to refuse trades unless collusion is suspected. One side of me feels for Team 1, but the other side is that he finally got burned for his trade slinging.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

UPDATE:

Team #2 grew a conscience and decided to redact the trade. He knew it was greasy and Team 1 got lucky this time. Moving forward the start of season we will set a rule stating all trades are final, cancel your trades before kickoff or live the consequences.

Cheers Boys.

Hi Commisioners Just wanted some opinions on a question an owner in my league has raised.

League details

• 12 team Superflex with TE Premium Dynasty
• Bylaws are in place with specific sections regarding deliberate tanking (in the form of starting illegal players when there are other options, ie IR, bye week, ruled out mid week etc)
• Max PF is for the bottom 6 finishes to further eliminate tanking risks.

The Question Rebuilding team (currently 11th) Team has asked if they trade Kirk Cousins and do not receive a starting QB in return, is it considered tanking. For reference team in question has 9 QBs on the roster, but Kirk is the only starter.

• Dorian Thompson Robinson
• Tyson Bagent
• Brandon Allen
• Josh Dobbs
• Jake Browning
• Garrett Stidham
• Sam Howell
• JJ McCarthy

So they can put a player In the QB spot, they are just unlikely to score anything.

The team satisfies the team makeup requirement by having A QB rostered, but they just ain't starting calibre.

I guess the same could be said if Cousins got injured, then he wouldn't have a starting QB either.

I'm leaning that it is OK but keen to hear other Commish thoughts??

Thanks in advance

I’ve had a manager trade a 2026 pick so they have to pay for that year’s dues. However, we are beyond this year’s Leaguesafe payment deadline and it will not let me extend that deadline (that I am aware of).

How can I fix this? Should I “renew for 2025 season” so he could pay for that fee that he owes? I would then set that late payment deadline further back in case it happens with another manager.

Running into an issue on MFL. I had a manager drop this year and had to replace him. Roster imported to new manager just fine. He is trying to do a trade and for some reason MFL is not listing any of his future draft picks to be available for the trade. Cannot figure out a way to add them. Has anyone ever experienced this issue?

Full roster dynasty league.

Anyone else do this for their league? And if so what do you track and how? I’ve been the commish for 11 years now. I keep a google sheet with 4 pages of stats and records for everyone to look at.

Page 1 is the year by year history. It has a grid showing where everyone finished every year with totals at the bottom for seasons played, championships, runners up, and third place finishes. Under that is the standings, playoff results, buy in, and payouts for every season.

Page 2 is all time team rankings in various stats. Individual tables show the all time regular season records, playoff records, combined records, an overall head to head record (this is everyone’s wins and losses against everyone every week, something i track throughout the season. So in a 12 team league with a 14 week season everyone would have 154 W/L/T here), a Luck Rating (this is a formula i created that looks at your head to head record, your overall head to head against everyone, the number of times you finished 1st for the week and the number of times you finished last. The idea being finishing 10th and getting a win is very lucky so this formula tracks who is the lucky and unlucky in a zero sum way. Not surprising to those who understand numbers, this one tends to naturally even itself out), all time points scored and games played ranked by average, total buy ins and payouts ranked by profits.

Page 3 is season and game records. We have the top 10 wins in a season including playoffs (current record is 14 when someone went 12-2 and 2-0), top 10 losses in a season (12), top 10 highest single season scoring average, top 10 lowest single season scoring average, top 10 all time winning and losing streaks, and then top 25 highest and lowest scoring individual weeks. When someone cracks the top 25 during the season i make a league announcement.

Final page is the current season overall head to head table showing everyone’s scores for every week and their record against all possible opponents. For example I could look at it right now and see I’m 5-2 against someone even if we haven’t played each other at all. This page gets cleared each season so even though I could tell you that someone is 845-772 all time, I don’t have the breakdown against each player other than for the current year.

I’d say the consensus is that my league mates think I’m kinda crazy and aren’t as into it as I am….but they also appreciate it and like to look at it from time to time. They acknowledge it would be cool to have for other leagues they’ve played in but it’s too late.

League commissioner here in a 12 man league on Sleeper. A managers team is locked currently because he left Puka in his IR spot. This is preventing him from moving players into his roster. He did need to drop someone but instead did a 3 for 2 trade. The app is still not letting him move players. Should I manually set his line up for him or what solution would you propose? Should I put it to a league vote? As it stands he has two empty roster spots because of this locked team.

Thank you for the help.

Got a problem in my league. Guy had Kupp on IR. Didn’t activate him before Thursday night football. He’s now locked on IR as an active player and can’t be moved to bench. Problem now is he can’t make changes to his active roster as he has an active player (who’s locked) on his IR. This means he’s not able to field a complete roster due to other injuries leaving an empty position. I put a league vote up and it is split on if he should be able to move Kupp to his bench to allow other transactions. Thoughts?

I had another trade go through where i followed the same process but the trade went through. Anyone know what caused this?

I'm new to Fantasy Football, and I've posted her a few times for my keeper league. However; after seeing that Dynasty is a thing, I'd like to commish my own starting next season. I've joined one in an orphan team, but it is offense only.

I really want to go the distance and offer up starting a fullish defensive lineup and a Kicker and punter.

I'm planning in using Fantrax so that I can run 2 PVP matchups a week for a 14 man league with two divisions.

I'm pretty squared away on how to get an offence going, but I'd like feedback from those of you who have been doing dynasty with IDP and/or kickers (yes I'm aware that punters are frowned upon, but they play too okay).

What are the usual number of starters you have for defense, and what points formats do you like or hate?

My plan is to create an equal playing field for all positions by having 8-12 points be an average day, 13-18 being a good day, and 20+ for a great day; but I've never played with IDP, so I have no idea where to start with that.

Long press the home button to bring up the old style of menu where you can bounce between leagues. Had no idea you could do this and am guessing others didn’t either.
