Still lost by 54 points you mean ;)
Post that starting lineup please
Wentz Jeffery DThomas Kamara Conner Graham Cook Parkey TEN def
Quick poll: Is an unbalanced trade ok when you clearly benefit from both sides of the trade?
I’ve got Ingram rotting on my bench and am considering trading him for the Bears D (LOL). I upgrade my starting roster for a playoff push, and on the other side a playoff longshot has a better chance of winning his last two games against opponents I need to lose to make the playoffs.
This seems like the type of trade that would be vetoed, but the trade clearly and obviously benefits both (starting) lineups. The fact that he plays my divisional opponents is just an added bonus.
Interested in hearing opinions.

Someone dropped Fournette and it’s a no flex league so I’m running DJ/Fournette last couple weeks.
Ingram has been a top 15 RB and at the very least a top 20-24 guy which seems silly to trade for a defense, even if it is da burrs
I was more going at it from a “is helping a league member beat the people I need him to beat immoral” standpoint.

Helping other league members beat certain people is poor strategy imo. You never know who's going to get injured next, so making a trade like that only hurts you. Anything can happen in the playoffs no matter who plays, so you should always make trades that strengthen your team. At this point what you can do, if you've already made the playoffs, is look ahead at the defensive matchups during playoff week and try to snag a defense now that has a good outlook.
E.g. I have Washington/Detroit paired for playoffs
I picked up Denver early in League A for a reason. But your #2 is Glass Fournette and you want to trade away a start-worthy backup for a couple DEF points? 
Me too, except I was already up by three points going into MNF with those two plus Butker.
Mine is done today too. Honey Badgers don't care about football.
RIP Kareem Hunt owners. Hope you had him handcuffed
Hi I'm too lazy and busy (with returning to work) to do a more substantial review but: League A Playoffs Edition
No playoff reseeding.
Well, I called the midseason Byes correctly at least. I won four straight but it wasn't enough to grab me one because Mixon Match didn't drop a game either. PatriotsAreCheaters finished as the 7-seed with the same record as #5-6 but lost out on Points For, the rest are two games back. I roll into the playoffs as the top scorer but stuck with the 3-seed; Joshua's Unreal Team is a close #2 in scoring and we don't face off against each other until the potential championship matchup.
Viable starting rosters be like
Mixon: Mahomes / Caff-Zeke / Sanders-Cooper-Golladay-ARob / Gronk
Whiteskins: Jackson-Carr / Gurley-Cohen-KJohnson-Riddick / Thielen-Hilton-Gordon / Hooper
Joshua: Brees / Gordon-Michel-Jones / Allen-Ridley-Davis / Ertz
Grudens: Goff-Wilson / Mixon-Johnson-Drake-SAMUELS / Hill-Juju-Lockett / Reed-SAMUELS
Odell: Rodgers / Coleman-Lindsay-Ekeler / Adams-Beckham-Baldwin / Engram
FBL: Watson-Wentz / Kamara-Conner-Cook-White / Jeffery-Reynolds-Humphries-DThomas / Graham
Pending waiver pickup, but Samuels is mine, yo.
Not betting against myself with my roster and depth. I'll take Whiteskins over Joshua's Unreal Team, I think he's got too much of an advantage at RB-WR with (Melvin) Gordon nursing injury. I'll take Mixon over Whiteskins in the semis, he's the best equipped at RB to put up similar numbers and if Mahomes and Gronk can do what they're capable of (big if for the latter) they should bring it home. And I plan to cruise to a CHIP but you never know.
Made the playoffs in league A and dynasty while watching under 20 hours of NFL football this year. I'd call that a success.
Picked up the wrong Samuel on accident, although I had 5% FAAB remaining so it wasn't a big deal. Curtis isn't a terrible player either.
Seriously worried about Jackson having Flacco eat into his minutes. If we don't hear something I might end up starting Carr or Josh Allen. Starting Josh Allen. In the playoffs. Oh boy.
In Dynasty I think AJ Green going down killed my title hopes. I'd feel a lot more confident starting him over Ingram in my flex slot. Garbage Cans looks near unbeatable anyways and Chubb/Lindsay/Boyd/Kirk/Kittle is a really solid young core that should keep me in contention for the next few years.
