This only works in leagues with limited rosters sizes. If your rosters are large enough that you drafted the likes of Ryan Grant to start the year then this is a possible strategy you should completely ignore.
There are some players you have on your roster you will never start, barring a massive rash of injuries. Yet these players are doing just enough, or they have enough of a name that you can't drop them else they'll be snatched by another owner.
Is it really that bad a decision to release some of these players in an attempt to handcuff another owner? Say you've made it past your bye weeks and you have solid starting options at rb-if Jamal Lewis was your fourth of fifth option why wouldn't you dump the guy? He'll never play for you, you can't get much for him in a trade but there he is just sucking up roster space. The next guy you pick up (Ryan Grant?) isn't necessarily destined for greatness but they have that unkown factor-while it's unlikely they'll blow up, Lewis certainly isn't going to explode.
Has anyone else dumped guys such as this in an attempt to limit another owner's roster?
