In a typical system there are both waivers and free agency. It's win-win, you get waivers to allow everybody a chance to grab players as needed but outside of Wednesday it's an open system. If Shady is announced OUT on Saturday, free agency means that any team can instantly grab Gillislee just like your current system is set up. Very good points and thanks for others' feedback. Our commish is on thin ice with a number of players and this might be just what we need to replace him and change things. For instance last summer a couple people brought up the possibility of adding 1 IDP and he refused because "It would complicate things too much"

Spoeank posted:12 team league and 4 team playoff supremacy. Only the strong survive I think it's sucky to have most of the teams in your league already eliminated from playoff contention by like week 8. I mean there's nothing you can do about someone who goes 1-7 their first eight weeks, but throwing in a wildcard match or two keeps the league interesting for the non-leaders for longer. If your league is super evenly matched and everyone is within a couple games of the leader, then nevermind, your way is fine. Keith Atherton posted:For instance last summer a couple people brought up the possibility of adding 1 IDP and he refused because "It would complicate things too much" A single, token IDP player is kind of gross, though. There's approximately two superstar IDP guys each year, and then a slew of players that will do very well many weeks and not well others. It's basically adding a dice roll to everyone who didn't draft JJ Watt (when he's not injured...), plus a dice roll for whether the JJ Watt owner has his guy get injured. There are so many quite good IDP guys available on waivers that there's no need to roster a backup any time other than when your guy is on bye... and a lot of times, not even then. What I'm saying is, get a decent set of IDP guys, or I wouldn't bother. My league does four: 1DB, 1LB, 1DL, 1 FLEX(DB or LB or DL). With that setup and 12 teams, a minimum of 48 guys are rostered at all times, which leaves the waivers in a state where you actually have to pay attention and learn about IDP guys and try to find someone who may break out, or matchup-dependent performances, etc. Plus it's worthwhile to put a backup on the bench for some of them. With this format, you need to add bench slots, of course. Having four or five IDP guys starting also makes the IDP scores be quite important for winning (depending on your scoring, of course). You can set up scoring so that a very good IDP performance produces similar scores to a very good offensive player's performance, or, you can keep scoring low (reduces volatility) if you want the IDP guys to still play second fiddle to most of the offense.

Actually my league is super competitive and 4th place was a 4 way tie that came down to total points last year. This year #4 is 8-6 and #10 is 6-8. It takes a special league to do it but it's fun.

Several members hate the idea vehemently though. e: I even said I wouldn't implement the rule change this season, but would like to league vote for it next season.

lol just had a fleaflicker stat "correction" (where I think they actually had the numbers wrong, not that NFL made an official correction) change a 1st round playoff result in one of my leagues. +1 solo tackle for Perryman on one side and -1 assisted tackle for CJ Mosley on the other, and now the 6th seed knocked off the 3rd!

I have Derek Carr and Amari Cooper. Last week was round one of the playoffs, and I should have lost, but thankfully neither myself nor the guy I was playing had teams that wanted to win. It helped that I had Atlanta's defense, and I won by just a few points. He had Russel Wilson and the Seahawks defense, so I was pumping my fists hard watching Green Bay pick off Wilson so many times and run up the score on them. I won last week because of that game. This week I'm projected to win, but I'm worried about Carr putting up Junior High QB numbers again. I have Rapelisberger too, but he hasn't exactly been playing too hot either.

Several weeks ago, I traded Jordan Howard and Zach Miller to Tom's 2-5 team for Rob Gronkowski. Dick and Commissioner Harry threw a fit and tried to veto the trade for "obvious collusion." We posted the chatlogs of our negotiations to refute that, so Harry allowed the trade but both have been vocal about my team being illegitimate because I fleeced poor, naive Tom. Poor, naive Tom hasn't lost a game since and he and I are riding byes as second and first seed, respectively. Dick and Harry just barely made the playoffs.  Now I need to ask for help with a gross question. Who do I drop for Anthony "Mr. Playoffs" Romo? QB: Dak Prescott RB: Le'veon Bell, Devonta Freeman, Todd Gurley, Tevin Coleman, Dion Lewis WR: Antonio Brown, Sammy Watkins, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill; Donte Moncrief TE: Ledarius Green Bolded players are potential keepers next year. 12 team, standard scoring. I'm leaning towards dropping Moncrief because of his injury, but maybe Lewis? Kaepernik and Flacco are the best of the rest on waivers.

Do not drop any of those guys for Romo. e: Absolute worst case scenario is probably that this unlikely situation plays out, in which case you can pick up Flacco, who has been just fine lately.

I posted the other day about how I am the highest scoring team playing in the championship against the lowest scoring team. He now has a roster of zombies, as he's blown his entire FAAB this week picking up Sammy Watkins, AJ Green, Kenneth Farrow, and Alshon Jeffery. It's like the scraps of every team I beat are coming back together to doom me to another championship loss. The fact that I'm relying on TY and Julio to do some work for me isn't helping.

I have both Julio and Hilton in a league (and Brown) but it's a two week playoff and I have a 30 point lead and Adams/SSS/Dixon to help cover the slack. Meanwhile, in GoonTier I'm going up against Hilton so I say gently caress it you need the rest buddy why don't you sit this one out  Hilton missed all last week and still played. Julio is more dicey because they most likely don't need him to beat the Niners, so there's literally zero incentive to rush him back if he needs another week.

Falcons just promoted a rookie WR, J.D. McKissic, off their practice squad. It sounds to me like they're not counting on Julio. Might run this guy out against the niners just to see how he does. e. yeah Julio's been ruled out. Sanu is going to play.

I had open offers with two different teams for either AJ Green or Julio Jones on the day of my trade deadline. I opted to go with Julio, then immediately afterwards AJ went down with his injury. The AJ owner shot me a text about how lucky I was to dodge that bullet. Weeks later, I've gotten maybe 20pts out of Julio. On the plus side, I've got both Coleman and Gabriel so I'm hoping to be covered this week for part 1 of my two-week championship. Would sure be nice to get some action from Julio next week though, otherwise I just blew some great keeper options (Jordy Nelson 8th rd) for almost nothing. At least they listed him out early this week so I could slap him in the IR spot and get a free bench opening for the miraculous return of PURPLE JESUS

Would you guys recommend dropping Riddick for Thielen in 1 PPR? Riddick is doubtful this week. My others RBs are DJ, Zeke, and Dion Lewis. Worried that Zeke will sit week 16...

Since if they and Dallas both win this week, there's still a chance that Dallas could lose the division by losing in weeks 16-17 since the Giants are only a couple games behind and did beat Dallas twice. Giants are playing a decent Lions team thOugh. Of course the Cowboys could lose to the Bucs also. I also wouldn't drop Riddick as your bench of Dion Lewis is p underwhelming.

In my first year of fantasy I somehow ended up with DJ and Bell, and took the top spot in my league. It's pretty great. But I'm paying for it with a weak WR core. About that, how often / how much do stud players decline over a season? When do they cease to be studs? In my case I'm concerned about Fitz and Amari Cooper. They seem to be out of gas. Especially Fitz, who hasn't had a TD since early October, and that whole offense seems to be imploding. Can I seriously consider starting a Ty Williams or even Taylor Gabriel over either of those guys?
