AP – A controversial tackling move known as the “hip-drop” has been a source of controversy recently, with fans calling for the move to be banished from the game. The NFL took notice this week by banning the hip drop when used on any players featured on ESPN.com’s Fantasy Football Undroppables List.

“There’s no place for the hip drop against superstars in our game,” said Commissioner Roger Goodell. “We cannot afford to have valuable fantasy football commodities have their legs snapped anymore. I call on NFL defenders to only break the legs of players averaging less than eight fantasy points per game.”

The “hip drop” move is essentially a tackling maneuver in which a defender is trailing behind or to the side of a ballcarrier, grabs them by the hips, and puts their body weight on the legs of the offensive player. The move has significantly injured players like Tony Pollard (2022), Mark Andrews (2023), and Rhamondre Stevenson (2023). The loss of Pollard and Andrews was a major detriment to countless fantasy football players.

“Why should I care about a hip drop against Alec Pierce?!,” said fantasy football player Myles Raymond.

“The NFL did a great thing by removing it against Christian McCaffrey, Ja’Marr Chase, and Travis Kelce – who I got on the same team due to a little bit of collusion hehe,” said another fantasy player.

“I wish Colin Kaepernick got hip-dropped!” said @TRUMP_real_PATRIOT64 on TruthSocial.

This news will be a welcome one to the most important fantasy football players of the world, and a cold harsh reminder to midlevel fantasy football players to step it the eff up and become an undroppable player in the eyes of ESPN.com if you don’t wanna get hip-dropped next, fool.
