Benching Players
I'm a first year commish. We have two teams(A & B) contending for the 6th and final spot in the playoffs. Team A has already won their matchup for this week, Team B has too. However Team B coerced their opponent into benching certain players so that they could be assured of the win. The opponent benched M. Reece and started D. McFadden right before kickoff....As it stands right now, Team B won their matchup by 6pts....how would you handle this situation?

Unless you can absolutely prove that Team B made their opponent bench Reece and start McFadden, there is nothing you should do. If Team B really wanted to win, he would have told his opponent to bench more than 1 player(If I was going to cheat and ask someone to lose, I would make sure he loses, benching one player would not be the way I would do it)... The fact that Team B only won by 6pts seem like that Team B really thought McFadden was going to play. Let things be.

On top of that... Reece only scored 5.6 so it doesn't really matter

How do you know he was coerced? DMC practiced this week, maybe he thought he was the better play
