NFL fans are debating a shady move that two fantasy football players in the same league committed in order to ensure they both made the postseason.

In many fantasy football leagues, Week 14 of the NFL campaign was the final week of regular season play. Since many NFL stars sit in Week 18 with playoff spots locked up, Week 17 is the fantasy championship in most leagues.

On Reddit, a fantasy player revealed a ridiculous story on how they missed out on the postseason in their league. Two players facing off in their league purposely benched all of their players in Week 14 to assure a 0-0 tie, which clinched postseason spots for both of them.

The player who posted the thread claims that they also missed out on the postseason as a result of this. They asked for opinions on the matter, leading to all sorts of interesting responses from the fantasy football community.

“This wouldn’t force a tie. It should go to bench points. If you don’t have at least a first tie break you’re an amateur league not worth talking about,” one fan quipped.

“100% cheating if it’s a money league id be asking for a refund,” another said.

“It’s collusion 100%. They were definitely scared. That guy must’ve been on a roll,” wrote a fan.

This is allowed. Sucks to suck to the loser,” another fan said.

“Straight collusion Allowed or not neither of those dudes is catching an invite back to the league next season,” said a fan.

If it’s not against the rules…oh well,” claimed another.

“Just bc you can doesn’t mean you should. Some line of Integrity,” remarked a user.

“Both of those 2 players are spineless cowards,” a fan wrote.
