Fantasy Football 2019 Rat League

[Bretsky]

As of now, you could start two. Still thinking about it.

16 teams

If everybody has to start two QB's there is just too much luck involved. Injuries happen. Many are not tied to their pc 24 x 7. Every QB in the NFL should not be starting in the same league.

[Radagast]

Here is the ruling:

SUPERFlex stays. But no one can draft more than 2 QBs tomorrow night.

Once waivers kick in, its a free for all.

SUPERFlex ? Where is this defined in the standing rules? It sounds pretty suspicious to me. Don't the rules call for how many players can be drafted or on a team for every position. Let's ALL play by the same rules and not by "special" rules designed to favor a "special" few.

Please FULLY EXPLAIN your post for those of us that who have never heard about any of this and do you have any more "special" rules that the rest of us are not aware of?

[Bretsky]

If I'm not wrong,the SuperFlex is just one additional player we can start at pretty much any position, right ? So I think it's kind of simple

But....If we are having to start two QB's, no way should a QB be an option for a SuperFlex. Smarter owners, or ones with more time will stash QB's and try to hoard them...not allowing some to have a 2nd starter.

just my thoughts

The starting lineup consists of 1 QB and 1 superflex position, which can be, but does not have to be a QB.

Roster Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, Q/W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

I see, now if the commissioner sets the draft order instead of Yahoo setting it randomly, suspictions WILL be confirmed. I was hoping for a fair league, what's next massive unequal player trades?

A little quick research shows that a Superflex Fantasy Football League has instead of the standard WR/RB/TE starting Flex position, a QB/WR/RB/TE starting Flex position is created. As a result, TWO QBs can play each week per team.

As a result, those that are aware of this important change will draft their QB's (2) as early in the draft as possible. QBs after all, the better ones, on the average score more points each week. Also with a 16 team league and only 32 NFL Teams, if you fail to get two of the top 20 Starting QBs early, your fantasy season is screwed right from the start.

The Superflex system might work well in a 10 or 12 team fantasy league, but with 16 Teams, such a system will favor those that (1) have used this system before and (2) those that are lucky enough to get the best QBs.

IMO, I foresee a disaster and if it occurs many will abandon this league when it becomes clear that it does not work fairly for all. I once left a fantasy league when the US Marine managing the league tilted the table in his favor.

Be very careful walking through this forest as traps and trip wires might get you.

Radagast, most of your questions can be answered by visiting the site.

If you had visited the site, you would know what a SuperFlex is. And you would know that no draft order is set.

Why do you seem to be eager to start trouble?

[pbmax]

After sleeping on it, it will be impossible to enforce a 2 QB limit on people auto drafting. Which would be unfair to limit people who come to the live draft.

While getting one QB likely won't be a problem, getting a backup might be if other teams draft 3.

And that might just tick a few people off, since QBs aren't on the waiver like RBs.

So I am making a call that SUPERFlex is going by the wayside this year. Position will instead just be a regular TE/WR/RB.

[pbmax]

No SUPERFlex this year.

Just a normal Flex position (TE/WR/RB)

Crap. Glad I took the time to check in.

Maybe remind everybody with a message once the draft room is open.

[pbmax]

Maybe remind everybody with a message once the draft room is open.

Reminds me, did you select NOT to receive email from League? I used to send out all updates here, PM and email through the League.

But when I choose to send to all managers now, it highlights my team and no one else. I can't even send a message just to you.

[Bretsky]

Probably good changes

So now one QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE Defense Kicker and one Flex that can be a RB or WR right ?

I don't care on my end, but the Prodigy has a strategy based an analytics for tonight so I want to make sure I'm giving him the right numbers...lol

PICKS I WANT NO PART OF

Picks 4, 5, and 6

[Joemailman]

Flex can also be a TE.
