Waiver blocking - Good managing or bad karma? (1 Viewer)

[Hankmoody]

my opponent this week has zero FAAB budget left and if we tie on a $0 bid i get the player based on waiver tiebreaker... he needs a defense and i am considering bidding on 2 defenses just to block

edit: if it matters i would essentially be holding the defenses for a day or two and dropping them before sunday

what is the community's feeling on blocking? I think i'm within my right to do it, but fully admit it's a d-move.

edit2: thanks for your feedback so far. i didnt expect to see the consensus opinion that it was ok, but as long as they stay on your roster for the week. i guess i dont see a tangible difference between rostering and holding the player for one weekend vs. rostering and dropping a day later. what am i missing here?

It matters, and that's bush league.

basic FF strategy as long as you hold them through that week's game.

Bad management to need a DST at this point of the season to let someone block you if the league settings allow.  I don't like the move on your part, but I've done it myself. 

Personally, I think anyone dropped after waivers are processed should just go into the FA pool.  But if your league settings allow, I'd totally do this though feel a wee bit dirty for it.
