In our dynasty league we can start 1RB/4WR our 2RB/3WR and TDs earn 5 points; 10 yards rushing/receiving earns 1 point and 10 carries or 2 completions earn 1 point.
Since week 11 one of our two commissioners has been out of the playoffs.
Week 11 He chose to start L. Maroney versus Buffalo over Steven Jackson versus SF.
Week 12 He chose to start A. Gonzales and C. Henry in a 1RB/4WR over Steven Jackson versus SEA in a 2RB/3WR.
Week 13 He had originally chosen to start A. Gonzales over Steven Jackson versus Atlanta until I told the other commissioner and his lineup was changed.
He stood to move up from the #6 pick to the #3 pick by losing.
1. What are people's opinion? Is this clearly tanking or could someone in a playoff hunt credibly make these decisions?
2. How would you handle this if you were in this dynasty league? This is our 7th year together. I asked for official league rules last year about tanking and quit when we didn't put any together. People asked me to rejoin the league and I did. We do not have any official league rules.
3. When I confronted him his argument was as follows. Is this argument credible? Thank you very much for your help on a sensitive matter.
I don't have a crystal ball. I liked Gonzo last week over SJ. He had a long td called back on holding or he would of easily out pointed SJ. My thinking on SJ is simply that with his injury and that team as bad as they are, seems silly to risk their stud when they have nothing too gain and they can find out about Leonard. Guru had him ranked down last week and had it as a neutral matchup. They had Indy as a good matchup in the passing game. If you look back I inserted Gonzo into my lineup at the last minute Thur when I heard Marvin was out again.
I'm not tanking. Far from it. It does not matter to me where I end up. ... there is little difference in one pick to the next for me when they are this high. They are all a crap shoot past the the first 2 and even then, you can make an argument!
I have so many picks that everyone knows I have to deal them out. I am notorious for dealing picks and not holding them. I dealt my way out of the playoffs this season with bad trades. Me getting the 4-6th pick is not going to make a huge difference since I own the #1 overall.
