Sitting a defense when you're ahead going into MNF

Does your league allow this?
Our league made a rule in our constitution that says If you don't start a full roster and are capable of doing so without the aid of free agency, then you face a penalty.
The rule was implemented to prevent collusion, and to make people make damn sure they check the lineup and field a team each week (To ensure people are taking the league seriously).
But subsequently, the rule technically prevents us from sitting a defense even if you're ahead. A guy is up by 5 with Carolina's D. Not saying it would happen but they've scored -6 and -8 this season.
It's my opinion this should be an exception to the rule.

The more important question is, why does he have the Carolina defense?
I think it should be allowed to sit a defense.

that better be allowed. should i be forced to drop one of my handcuffs so i can fill a defense or kicker position that's on a bye? frick that. if i want the 0 because of 6 teams on a bye then that's my right.

How exactly is the rule worded in the bylaws?

It should be allowed but if your bylaws say it's not, then you should follow that.

Should definitely be allowed.
