Diss should be here soon if he's online .

my pick is nearly finalized . I just need to sit on it a few more minutes

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ok, here is a compromise.

16 players (8 starting, 8 bench)

HOWEVER, for the bench you MUST select QB, RB, WR, TE, K, D and then have 2 Wild Card picks. That way you can get your extended bench, but have SOME limit on stockpiling?

What do you guys think?

I don't see anything in the rules preventing it. Team profile just says "6 Bench players" so I assume that means they could all be kickers if you wanted.

Yeah, but you'd want a full rounded bench, if you are rational, of course .

NOOB Corner:
When you go to the waiver wire to cover defense or kicker in a bye week (or to replace an out-for-a-week-or-two injury), do you have to release someone as well? Would that player then be at risk of being claimed by someone else?

Yes.

If so, then I think we should have reserves drafted for Kicker and Defense, too. Heck, why not? -- it would just be 2 rounds of BAPAY.

Are you saying that everyone has to draft a one Kicker and Team D for the bench?

After all, though.. a backup RB can fill in for EITHER RB spot. You don't need two backup RBs and I think plenty in this league will only have one backup RB or WR.

unless 2 of your RB's have byes the same week. I had that problem last year. I didn't compare bye weeks when drafting.

Ugh, what is it with people who want extended benches? Yeah, a backup K and D are good, but there is nothing preventing someone from saying I don't want a backup D after their first bye and pick another skill position player, resulting in more stockpiling.

This was exactly the reason I proposed having only one RB or a RB/WR position instead of 2nd RB. It's a REAL problem having to pick 2 RB per team and then having some people stockpiling or having a better waiver position to snatch up the real life backup. Many leagues have seen starting RBs get hurt which destroys their entire team, because they can't get a suitable backup.

A smaller bench goes a way to prevent that.

seeing as we are set in our starting positions, we may as well keep our draft #.

Smaller benches are tough to manage. But this is rewarding to those who do the research on bye weeks and such. This should introduce more strategy into this game

[Berzerker]

Jr is up

[Tuberski]

I, personally, like it the way it is. You can always get another kicker or defense.

I had no problems last year.

Besides, I went through 2 or 3 of each.

ACK!

[Berzerker]

**** This will take a bit of time, both my picks just got nabbed
