Unethical to throw games? (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

A guy in my work league has the #3 playoff spot sewn up. I am fighting for the #6 spot. I needed to win today (I did) and have this owner beat the team which is currently occupying the #6 spot. He played Martavis Bryant in his flex spot, and benched Julio, Maclin and Mason. He's played Julio and Maclin every other week. My team has been on fire. I started off 2-5. It's pretty obvious he did not want to face me in the 3/6 game next week.

The funny thing is he still might win .... by accident. His game is a 50/50 shot tomorrow night. I don't want to list the particulars for fear of jinxing it.

But I guess my question would be, can you see ANY valid reason to roll Bryant out there over those other 3? Maybe he was afraid Peterson would blanket Julio. Okay, I can buy that. But who would be afraid of Maclin against Dallas and Mason against the Raiders. If there is a fantasy God, I will advance and then pay him back.

The worst part is that he's a really good dude. The worserer part is that I probably would have done the same thing.

BTW, there are short benches in this league, so he couldn't totally tank. He kept it as subtle as possible.

There is indeed a fantasy God. If Hartline had gotten 6 points in a PPR tonight, I'm out. Instead, he's done for the night with a knee injury.

And now, in round one of the playoffs next week, I face the guy who tried to keep me out.
