There are two elements which comprise the "Fantasy Football Fair Trade Rule"
When we look at a trade, we should (1) assess whether both teams benefit from the trade and we should (2) assess whether the trade is so unfair that it unfairly compromises the integrity of the league.
We need not look to element #2 if the trade does not satisfy element #1.
Explanation of Element #1.
Simply consider, do both teams benefit from the trade. Note: Element #1 does not contemplate whether one team has benefited more than another.
In the likely event of disagreement on this point, the issue is put to a vote. Majority Wins. Tie is broken by commissioner vote, even if commissioner is involved in the trade (perks of being commissioner).
We need not look to Element #2 if the trade terms do not satisfy Element #1. If Element #1 is not satisfied, the trade is vetoed.
Explanation of Element #2:
A trade may unequally favor one trading party over the other (often this is the case), however, a trade MAY NOT unfairly prejudice the integrity of the league.
We look at whether the trade would - if executed - cause an unfair advantage to either of the parties involved in the trade.
In the likely event of disagreement on this point, the issue is put to a vote. Majority Wins. Tie is broken by commissioner vote, even if commissioner is involved in the trade.
If Element #2 is not met, the trade is vetoed.
If Element #2 is met, and all parties have voted, then the trade is processed.
FANTASY FOOTBALL FAIR TRADE RULE ELEMENTS:
To Satisfy Element #1.
HYPOS:
1. Team X & Team Z trade. Both teams are made better. Element #1 is satisfied.
2. Team X & Team Z trade. X is made better but Z remains the same. Element#1 is not satisfied.
3. Team X & Team Z trade. Both are made worse. Element #1 is not satisfied.
To Satisfy Element #2:
HYPOS:
1. Team X & Team Z both improve their teams via trade. Team X receives slightly better value than Z. Element #2 is likely satisfied (subject to vote).
2. Same facts, but Team X receives much better value than Z. Element #2 is likely not met (subject to vote).

Seth and Oliver are good fantasy football commissioner because they play fair.
Specific complaints or accusations about fantasy football (e.g., rules, results, transactions, etc.) framed as innocent inquiries or concerns.
Even though I could look this question up, and even though Player Z was clearly dropped by Team S, was it legal for Team S to do that and then be added later by Team H? This isn't a fantasy football gripe, I'm just generally curious whether we follow the undroppable player list.
The act of inserting your clitterous into a man's penis whole while prying the penis whole open with chopsticks. This is all occurring during a fantasy football draft.
Man: Hey, can we fantasy football tonight?
Woman: Depends on when the draft is.
A online game where you pick football players to be on your team and your team's success depends on them.
Because Jack plays fantasy football, he is more interested in the NFL.
Fantasy football snakes are the lowest of the low. They are the guys who lurk on drunken team manager decisions and trick first-year players into making questionable trades, all for the betterment of their team.
Fantasy football snakes usually begin the fantasy football season strong, but shortly enough karma catches them and their team begins to dismantle until they fall just shy of playoffs.
Victim: "Hey Derrell! What do you think about this trade Yusef convinced me on? I'll give him Waller for one of his defenses and the starting kicker for the Bengals! Pretty good trade right?!"
Bystander: " Are you kidding me? That is a horrible trade. Do not take it. Geez... Yusef is such a fantasy football snake. I bet he also scopes out the waiver wire for mistaken drops."

Bystander: " Are you kidding me? That is a horrible trade. Do NOT take that trade. Geez... Yusef is such a fantasy football snake. I bet he's lurking the waiver wire too for drunken mistakes. Unreal!!"
