Fair or foul?

I’m 2 spots out of 6th place w/ playoffs coming up. My opponent only has Teddy Bridgewater at QB and news came out on Thursday that he’s unlikely to play, but now they’re saying he may. Anyway, given it’s a 12 man league, there are only 8 FA QBs available so I add 3 on Thurs night, then dump those 3 for 3 others on Friday, thereby making those 6 QBs unavailable. League-mates obv notice on Friday and aren’t pleased. Guy w/ Teddy doesn’t add one of 2 FA QBs, so I add them this morn

If I’m commissioner I change all those QBs to free agents to cancel your moves. Are you really that scared that you can’t beat him with Luton as his QB? Obviously you are within the rules but it’s stupid of you and you are ruining fantasy football

Luton is a starting QB for an NFL team, therefore eligible to earn points in my opponents QB slot. Though he doesn’t seem to be great and he’s going against the Steelers, I’d bet he’ll wind up with more than 0 points, so yeah, I guess you could say I’m scared of Luton

100% foul. In fact some leagues have standard rules to prevent that by returning players to available if picked/dropped on FA vs waivers and limiting add/drops.

What would be FAIR is picking up the QB(s) and holding on your bench to block. But gaming pick up / waiver mechanism is 100% booty league, and I’d be careful if you care about being in the league much longer.

If that’s how you want to win so be it, I wouldn’t want to be in a league with you and I think the same goes for most good faith players considering this is prevented on some platforms by default. Like I said it’s different than you picking up the player and holding to block. You’re cheesing.

I say picking up players is a strategic defensive move- but only if you keep them on your bench for the week.

Fair.

10000% fair

It is pretty bush league but does not mean I won’t do it. Lol.

Honestly, if it’s a low stakes league and everyone jus having fun, I’d find someth like that hilarious. However, if it’s relatively more serious with higher stakes, I’d say 100% fair BUT foul. If this happened in one of my leagues, no one would do anything in the fantasy environment, but there would def be consequences outside the app.
