Stupid keeper question incoming!! 12 team/0.5 PPR/1 keeper My choices are Zeke (2nd) or Hopkins (2nd). I'll probably have a shot at one of Bell/DJ/Gurley given the state of our league. Zeke is the easy choice here right?

Is there any way for MFL to enforce that someone cannot go back on a taxi squad once promoted in a dynasty league? I'd like that to be the rule, but I also don't want to have to manually check every player that goes on a taxi squad to see if they have ever been promoted in the past. How do most leagues handle taxi squad rules?

Zauper posted:taxi squad setup. One more question about this. If I set it to "Only allow rookies on practice squad", does that mean that they immediately get booted from the practice squad once the following season starts, and they are no longer a rookie? Or does it mean you can only place someone on the squad if they are a rookie, and they can stay there for multiple years, until promoted? Also, is there a way to put someone directly on the taxi squad, or do you need to add them to your active roster first, then place them on the taxi squad? Basically, do you need an open active roster spot to get a waiver/FA to the taxi squad?

You might have to manually boot them. But you don't want only rookies on the taxi squad, you should open it up for 2nd year guys too (3rd year is even better imo).

One more question. Regarding stealing/claiming people off other team's taxi squads. Most leagues let you put a claim in for a player on another owners taxi squad. That owner would then have 48 hours or so to decide whether to promote that player (making him forever taxi squad ineligible), or let him walk. If he walks, the claiming team gives a draft pick as compensation. I've seen the compensation as whatever round the claimed player was drafted in +1 round. So if you claim a 3rd round player, you would have to give a 2nd round pick as compensation. My question is, how should it be implemented in a dynasty league that had an auction start up draft, but now has snake style rookie drafts? How can I put a draft pick value on a guy that was drafted via auction? I guess the easiest answer is that all players from the startup auction are ineligible from taxi squads, and only rookies/sophomores/possibly 3rd year guys taken in rookie drafts are eligible.

Ok cool, hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions... 1) It seems like you are using a hard cap. So with the free agent draft, what happens if one team has a bunch of cap space, while the remaining teams have very little. Couldn't they just grab all the good free agents at a huge discount, resulting in them being able to keep them all cheaply for years to come? 2) The consolation 1.13 pick. The 5th place winner would get the 8th overall, as well as the 13th overall? It's a cool idea, but that seems like a huge advantage. 3) Say there is a player on waivers and you want to add them to your taxi squad. Do you need to have an open roster spot, and the necessary cap space to roster them first, THEN move them to your taxi squad? Or can you bypass all that and just move them straight to the taxi squad? Sorry if it comes off like I'm critiquing your rules, I'm not trying to. I really appreciate you laying the groundwork for all the rules and sharing them with me so I could use them to help me build my league. I just don't have anyone who's done a dynasty league to bounce things like these off of.

RCarr posted:Ok cool, hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions... Zauper addressed all of these but I'll add some context. 1. There are some ways to clear cap space, such as by dropping players or making trades. But the fact that your cap prevents you from accumulating expensive players is a feature, not a bug. Owners have to manage their cap! Also, though, there only has to be one other owner with cap space and a desire for that player, for the auction price to rise by a lot. 2. We do not want owners eliminated from playoff contention to give up. Having a worthwhile goal that is worth going for in the playoffs even if you started the season 2-8 means it's more likely everyone stays engaged through the whole year, and that is important especially in dynasty where there may be owner turnover, where you want everyone bidding on free agents to ensure high salaries for the best players, where you want other owners willing and able to trade for now or for the future, etc. That said, I agree with Zauper that 1.13 costing a much as 1.9 through 1.12 makes it a little less amazing. It's the 13th guy for the salary of the 9th guy. 3. MFL does not make it possible to accept a player straight to your taxi squad, whether by trade, auction, or draft. During the rookie draft we give all the teams an extra, temporary roster slot strictly for transitioning players to the taxi squad. We also use a soft cap; that is, owners aren't programmatically prevented from busting cap with a player add, so we just expect everyone to pay attention and the commissioners do too. But on top of *that*, rookie salaries have to be assigned manually due to our structure, so even if we had a hard cap, this system would still work; commissioner just assigns the rookie their new salary after owner moves them to taxi squad. Basically, our league rules allow you to avoid busting cap with a taxi-eligible player (or for that matter an IR-eligible player, who only costs half salary against your cap) if you immediately move them to taxi/IR, but MFL does not really support that, so we have to fudge it.

/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/55067755/usa_today_9523193.0.jpg) Holy poo poo this is Packers new receiver Jake Kumerow. That was him with the Bengals, who he did absolutely nothing with, but now he's with the Packers so that doesn't matter anymore. He's just so goddamn pretty in that picture. He caught a TD tonight but more than that, he has been impressing Aaron Rodgers. quote:The Packers drafted three receivers -- J'Mon Moore (fourth round), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (fifth round) and Equanimeous St. Brown (sixth) -- yet Rodgers has repeatedly praised Kumerow, a former practice-squad player. There has been a heavy focus on the young receivers, especially given the fact that the Packers cut veteran Jordy Nelson in the offseason. https://twitter.com/BobMcGinn/status/1025457062665433088 https://twitter.com/Michael_Cohen13/status/1025423688357826560 Of course Rodgers mentions Allison in there as a pro but it certainly appears that Kumerow has proven himself a cut above the rookies so far which is significant for a dude they picked up off the street. I'm not sold on Allison but I do know I am fading the gently caress out of Randall Cobb though, so I am very tempted by the players he might rely on next. And if you compare their draft profiles (Kumerow, Allison), they're pretty similar. Kumerow is slightly taller (6'5" vs. 6'4") and slightly faster (4.56 forty vs. 4.67, 6.90 3-cone vs 7.40). So Kumerow is behind Allison right now but Allison isn't a sure thing himself and Kumerow might be the better athlete. And when Cobb misses time, they'll both be on the field if Rodgers doesn't trust the youngsters. All of this has got me thinking that if I can't get Allison at a good price, I can get Kumerow at a dirt cheap one and might have a comparable lottery ticket in this offense.
