Hope this isn't too wordy.
Long time dynasty league, with individual defensive players. We run waivers only twice a week - Wednesday morning and Saturday at noon. This past week a team discovered that they dropped a defensive lineman that they didn't mean to, as two of the other rostered DLs were on bye - leaving him with only 1 remaining while we have a starting requirement of 2. He discovered this just after the 1 PM games on Sunday when he was checking his scores. Looking around the other 9 teams in the league, only one other team had an "extra" DL that he could trade for - Demarcus Lawrence that wasn't playing till Sunday night. Other teams may have had a DL who hadn't yet started their game, but they were in their starting lineup.
Anyway, the team with D Lawrence offered him to that team for a future 2nd round rookie pick (you can argue if that was fair or not, I think it was in our scoring system). The offer was seen, but neither accepted or rejected and no counter was made. Should he have been forced to make an effort in that situation, or should knowingly playing a man down be allowed?
In the end, playing a man down he lost by 5 points (thanks to a pretty poor fantasy game from Brady last night).....while D Lawrence scored 8. So he would have won had he made the deal. Deal, or no big deal?
