The package has been opened and shows apparent usage.

Also, you should hit up Yuzenn. He’s got TEs for days (although Dwelley did pretty well for me last season when Kittle went out).

Also, also, getting Hyde from Dango Bango is gonna be my quickest trade acquisition + drop ever, since it’s pretty obvious DeeJay Dallas is more than competent as a Carson handcuff.

This season seems like it’s been overly injury player adverse. I know a lot of y’all have had worse luck than me on that front, and I haven’t been keeping track of everyone’s rosters, so I’m kinda curious to see just how much of an impact it’s had (I’m willing to concede it’s substantial). Not including mid-tier players, so far I’ve had:

Marlon Mack: Mid-Week 1 (out for season)
Aaron Jones: Weeks 7 & 8 (return date TBD)

Edit: The reason I’m putting this out there is because, maybe due to the extenuating circumstances of this season (assuming we get all the way through), we extend the most-impacted team a refund of their entry fee? Not sure if that’s kosher, and feel free to shoot me down if it’s a stupid idea. Could do a vote at the end of the season or something. I have zero impression I’ve been more impacted than others, just wanted to provide a potential format for making cases.

But seriously I'm not a fan of the most impacted team be refunded. All payments were decided at the start of the season what happens if the season either finishes or gets cut short. We were all dealt the same hand at the start of the draft.

Clearly since I'm dead last, my team has been affected the most. :colbert:

Your heart is in the right place, but we're all playing with the same circumstances. Even more so since this is an auction draft league. Unless we have to invoke the charity option, it should just stay the same. It's not fair to those on top to reduce their potential payout.

Hey, so... I just wanna say on today of all days, I really appreciate being able to get in on this league. My work league from last year didn’t gather enough interest, the one with some of my close friends had similar issues, and as such, this one has been a super useful distraction, what with COVID and the election and everything else that’s happened during 2020 in the past several weeks. Y’all are awesome.

Yahoo has the following note:

"Commissioners: We have added a new league setting to enable the COVID-19 status (eligible for the IR slot) on players impacted by any future game postponements. You can enable it in your league settings - "Apply injured status for postponed games."

Obviously, mid-season settings changes should almost never happen. But these are strange circumstances and I figure it's worth a conversation at least.

My take is: COVID is obviously getting worse by the day, and at some point a team will have an outbreak so widespread that the NFL can't just put the positive guys on the COVID list and still play the game. And it would suck for somebody to have to make tough and unnecessary add/drop decisions during the fantasy playoffs because of that. So I would lean toward turning it on.

If there is unanimous agreement among the playoff contenders (everyone 4-6 or above), then I'll turn it on. If not, I'll leave it as-is. Let me know what you think.

Alright, coronaball, your post about the COVID designation was eerily prescient considering the whole Ravens situation, but you also picked up Gus Edwards, so at this point I have my doubts there is actual witchcraft at work here.
