turbotooslow Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 My buddy is 5-2 and has Jackson and Ingram on BYE and Thielen out. He also just found out Teddy isn't playing. He's playing a 3-4 team who has no BYES and a decent team with a shot to win. I'm right behind the 5-2 team at 4-3. So...his opponent picks up Cousins to play keep away, and I follow suit and drop my defense and Kirk (nobody in this league will pick him up so I will get him back next week) to grab Tannehill and Daniel Jones. Then another leaguemate sees what's going on and drops 2 scrubs for Rudolph and Carr, leaving really only Schaub to be picked up. Honestly all of the QBs mentioned have a similar range of outcomes so it's not like we really screwed him over, but he was pretty pissed about it. I told him I do this kind of stuff every year all year (play keep away, pick up handcuffs just before a primetime game, etc.). He's saying it's collusion and I'm telling him to relax and that none of us even talked about it, it was a domino effect type of thing. And honestly a funny one IMO. I just need a little affirmation here. Half the league aren't keen on these types of strategies so they are seeing it as unfair. I told them/him to be quicker on the wire, especially since they've always made comments about how I pick up every good player (7 year league of friends).

purplemonster Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Not really a big deal. It's legal. And schaub still has some pretty good WR to throw to and a terrible D so even that's not a terrible option. He should stop whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
