Fantasy Football Waiver Ethics Question

hoyasnaxa · #1 10-21-2007, 01:41 AM

My opponent for the week will likely change his lineup tommorrow, and he has Sammy morris in the starting lineup. I picked up Kenny Watson simply to block him, but Kevin Faulk is another starter who is also available. I am not going to start Kenny Watson.

My questions are in a typical waiver situation, if I drop watson right now, he will be unavailable for him to pick up and play tommorrow right? Also, I would then pick up Faulk to block him doubly, is this ethical/allowed? Will this work? Thanks.

This isn't too over the top abuse of this tactic, so I would say perfectly acceptable imo.

I think add dropping players to put them on the waiver wire so they are unavailable is very unethical.

However, just picking up players and putting them on your bench for the week to block is fine.

1 pro, 1 no. I guess I shouldnt do it, I dont see why it would be a very big deal though.

I guess I could also add that I dropped Jamal Lewis to pull this off, which may be pretty dumb in the long run. I really need a win this week though.
