Rules/etiquette question:
--Do we have to start a defense? Can we keep that spot empty if we want to?

Rules/etiquette question: --Do we have to start a defense? Can we keep that spot empty if we want to? I don't have a problem with it but I don't see where it helps you. basically saying “I am gonna pull my defense because I am already winning and don’t want to risk negative points” I understand the logic but what’s the point of having positions to fill and not filling them? One is strategy when you know you can guarantee a win and , the other is actual good sportsmanship strategy. Just my opinion If it’s allowed to not start positions, I think it needs to be announced before the start of Sunday games and not something you pull off before Sunday night games or a Monday night game.

So you do need to start a defense (you need to start someone at every position for that matter) at the beginning of the week…but if say your defense is going Monday night and it’s close game and you wanted to pull them in case you lost points, that’s end of week strategy and would be allowed.

I'm not 100% sure but i think in some leagues if you don't have a full roster they call it an invalid lineup so after the last game on Monday starts if the spot is not filled i don't think they tally any points for your team. It could be a setting the commissioner sets up at the beginning of the year, like trade dates or point scoring etc...

Some leagues don’t care if you don’t start a position and some demand you start every position in your lineup. I think it’s a cheap move just because it was convenient for you to have a defense going Sunday night or Monday night and you’re only up by a point or two so you just don’t start a defense while the other team didn’t have that luxury. Again, my opinion is why have positions on the roster if we aren’t filling them and playing this game the right way? But fine with whatever the decision is.

Thank you for posting your thoughts on this. Either way works for me, no preference.
As a new player, when in Rome. I play in one other league, and they have a penalty for not filling all starting spots.

I hadn't considered that. The only thing I could think of was to add another bench player. Not playing your defense in that case would be like Ted Williams taking the last day off in 1941.

If the DST spot is allowed to go empty after the games begin, there are two reasons I would be tempted to do that (both mentioned): 1) Going into Monday night, I'm up a couple of points. 2) Going into Monday night or Sunday night, I'm either way up or way down and and rather pick up FA bench player that hasn't played yet. I'm not advocating any of this, just wanted to know what the league rules are so I can make sure to follow them.

I don't think you'll have to worry about me when it comes to good sportsmanship and always doing the right thing.

I don't think you'll have to worry about me when it comes to good sportsmanship and always doing the right thing. by no means questioning anyone, just stating how I feel. I have dealt with this in other leagues in the past when it wasn’t discussed and it caused more issues than it should have. Like I said I am fine either way we decide, just wanted to share my experience and opinion.

If one wanted to play that way simply place a D in that spot on their bye week.

My team just can’t play together, how do I lose a week where Hill puts up like 47 points?
I am interested in making a trade for a RB
