To defend my position a little more, FJax is a fantasy stud. He missed 6 games last year and still rushed for as many yards as Tate, and he had 26 more rec for another 350 yds and this is a ppr league so thats another 60 pts head start he has. Yes, Tate is the better back to build a team around, but I am wanting to be a good team and make a push now. FJax is 31, but I am not as concerned about the age of the player as I am the wear and tear they have. He has been lightly used and still has a good 2-3 years left in him. Also, I am giving up a lot of picks this year, but they are later picks and I pick up a few more for the future.
But if vetoed I am fine with redoing it. Just giving my thoughts on why I made the trade.

I agree with bears, while that many picks may be hard to give up, ben tate can't be counted on and bears is clearly in it to win it this season.

Bears, thank you for the elaboration. I just now was able to check back in. I see the trade has been approved. For what its worth, I would have approved also based on your explanation. I would not have done the trade my own self, but your explanation was valid and I understand more your thoughts now. Maybe I'm just mad at Jax because he burned one of my teams that could've made a run at the playoffs last year when he got injured. LOL
