Who cares if it's collusion. You play Fantasy for one purpose and that is to win. If it comes back to bite you in the arse, then oh well.

Wrong on many levels. These guys probably cheat at Scrabble as well. Cheaters never win, etc.

What says the FSB?


Banned from the league for conduct detrimental to the spirit of fair competition, lack of integrity, etc.

Team A is planning on throwing the game to help Team B clinch a spot.


This is Team A insulting Team B by saying, hey, Team B owner, I know you're not good enough or smart enough to be in the club (playoffs), but I believe in affirmative action for those less fortunate and am personally against rewarding good drafting and team management.

You get the drill.

And by the way, how did this information become known to you? Not bad enough that A and B are plotting to undermine the integrity of the league, but then they tell other people how untrustworthy they are?

A and B have demonstrated poor judgment on all levels.

That's collusion. Not fair to the rest of the league. End of story.

Just realized I'm in the op's league.

Team A is starting Ingram when he has Sproles/boldin as flex options

Then maybe you can tell us whether the owner of Team B is learning disabled or suffers from some other disability that would exempt him from competing on a level playing field with others?

Haven't seen yet whether Sproles is playing--he was out last week. If Sproles is out, then I don't have a problem with Ingram over Boldin. Not sure I'd do it, but I don't second guess the other teams in my league because I know they are trying to win.

That is BS, however, if team A is doing it because he wants the weaker team in the playoffs I can get on board...

Not saying I would do it but why shouldn't people? It ups their chances of winning.

Many things up a team's chances of winning at all level of professional and fantasy sports, but it doesn't make it right/fair/honest.

Right?
Debatable

Fair?
Nope, but such is life

Honest?
If I announce that I am doing it then it is honest.

Does it effect you in anyway? Are you already in the playoffs? Are you the one fighting for the last spot against him? Are all you guys friends in the league?

OP is one game behind team B. OP Would get the nod if he wins and B loses because he leads B in points significantly. If Team B wins, OP is out.
