Is this unsportsmanlike conduct (1 Viewer)

[kimbosliced]

So I've already heavily lost my match up this week (like 60 points loss) and only have a kicker to play. I am planning to just drop the kicker to pick up Little on waivers (really hurting at WR). Is this really unsportsmanlike conduct? Will the fantasy gods be unkind to me?

I figured it would only be a big deal if I sit a guy to get a good waiver spot or guarantee a win or something? What are your thoughts?

won't you need a K next week anyway?

Sounds OK to me. I am surprised you can pick up players while the games are still being played though. Are most leagues like that?

I am guessing his kicker is on a bye, and this is his one week fill-in.I have no problem with this move. You are not affecting the outcome of a game, and unless there is a rule that you HAVE to have an active player at each position, I would file this under: You can manage your own team however you like.

ESPN standard let's you pick up guys that haven't played yet OR are on buys.

I used this loophole once last year and got some flack for it...but only cuz I was the first to figure it out and use it. I did not however drop a player in my starting lineup to do so. That part seems a little questionable, but if there is no rule about submitting a complete lineup I would argue you are well within your right to do so.

On a side note....seems like you should be able to get Little next week anyways.

##### move = bad karma

just wait until normal waivers.....and Little is not worth the problems you might generate in your league

Pulled the trigger. Anyone could have done the move. In fact, it has been done before. Gotten no flack for it. I had already lost. And Little would have definitely been picked up.

if rules allow it nothing wrong with it

I've started an incomplete line up in leagues that permit it (usually non-MFL leagues).

 

[bergs101]

I agree. If the rules allow it, it's fair game.

If your system allows it and there isn't a specific rule against it then I see no problem with it.
