Ok my 2nd idea is a clump of ideas.

Roster Positions: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR Spot
Playoff Reseeding: NO!
Waiver Type: FAAB Continual Waivers - Waiver claims are processed in waiver priority order and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list.

I think the wave of the future to eliminate fluky weeks is add more spots that a offense can run, in this case an extra WR spot (Imagine 4 WR/2 RB/TE/, 3 WR/ 2 RB/ 2 TE, or 3 WR/3 RB/TE). It makes people actually have to research the most plentiful commodity (WR), and there's nothing like winning your week due to that scrub WR proving dividends. Yahoo! Friends and Family League uses a similar format. With roster positions currently I still saw over the year tons of people ignoring the value of the WR position in the flex, teams would carry in some cases 3 TEs! So I say cut off an extra bench spot to comp for the extra position spot. Reduces hoarding even more.

No Playoff Reseeding is self explanatory

Initially I thought that using Puddles' FAAB w/ Reverse order of standings tiebreak setting might be better, but I like the continuous one better because it's more random (sense a pattern here). In the NEL you knew if you tied bids the worse team would get that player, no such luck with this system.

I'd like to toss out a recommendation for MyFantasyLeague.com as a Yahoo! alternative. If only because EVERYTHING on that site is customizable. You can take whatever you like from all of the other sites and integrate it into your league. The only downside is that there's a cost to host your league there.

Unless we can somehow import our league history, I'm partial to Yahoo. It's great looking back at stuff

I also like the IR spot. I haven't seen that in Yahoo fantasy for a few years though. Not sure if it's a setting

I'll complain about all of these settings later

I also like the IR spot. I haven't seen that in Yahoo fantasy for a few years though. Not sure if it's a setting

1. IR slot (if enabled) only appears while you are moving a player. You can't move a player straight to IR either; it's bench first, at which point you can toggle IR
2. IR only applies to players put on the NFL IR list, which means (a) they ain't playing again this year or (b) they are on the new PUP-return list and are out what, 6-8 games?

I mostly remember it from NBA leagues where you could stash an injured guy w/o using a bench spot. I guess they took it out when the NBA expanded rosters a few years ago and switched to inactive lists instead of IR

Here's the matchup, for 1st place. Any suggestions? I'm on the left. If I somehow pull this off, I will consider this the upset of the century and take a picture which I post all over Facebook and life.

Bennett over Daniels. Daniels is in a slump and bennett will see an uptick in targets with a gimpy Nicks.

Outside of that, nothing to do.

fuck fantasy football
every year i draft incredibly well only to have my opponent in the playoffs have the best player (adrian peterson this year, i think ray rice last year) in the fucking league. then all my players shit the bed, ray rice doesn't play and i'm too hungover and passed out til 90 mins after the games start to pick up his backup so he only gets me 1.40 points. rg3 better throw for like 7 TDs in a shootout with the cowgirls and alfred morris better not touch the fucking ball. demarco murray better catch like 4 screen pass TDs.

in espn, my players are all overachieving in the 4th place game or some shit. this is only like the 3rd week i haven't started eli, and he throws 5 fucking touchdowns. luckily kaepernick did alright. i was down 118-87 last week and now i'm up 204-160. deangelo fucking williams went ham (33), doug martin went ham (21), demaryius thomas is going ham (18), and chargers d is living up to expectations of being a turnover machine (14). where the fuck were these numbers in weeks 14/15???????????????????????


fuck. fantasy. football.
