Re: BBFFL (4.12.11 - 9.10.15)

A flex position is pretty common in many fantasy leagues. You
can usually play any player that you like there. However if we
go this route I think we should still keep our rosters the same
meaning you have to draft the players the same as we do now. If
not we would have three TE's drafted every year and that is it.
People would horde RB's and WR's and they are way to thin in our
league as it is with so many teams.
Personally I like it the way it is now with having to play a TE.
That is all part of the draft day strategy. Take one of the
stud TE's early and suffer at another position or draft other
positions and take the scraps left over.

Yeah. I like the fact you have to start a TE. Draft a good one
I say. Not all teams in the NFL have a great TE. Those that do
have an advantage. Just like in our league.
I don't mind possibly changing that third starting WR to a flex
position where you can start a WR/TE/RB.

Changing WR3 to flex is a very good idea. I'm neutral on
keeping the league TE mandatory.
RBs come out of nowhere every year. It would be nice to be able
to pick up another Hillis after a dumbass inexplicably drops him
midseason for no reason.

On the TE thing, if you don't have a stud TE, which only a few
of the 16 teams in our league have, it's like being down a
player every game. Even if you do draft a stud TE or keep one
as a Keeper, you are screwed if they go down. I have been on
both ends of that proposition. I think that's why other leagues
have moved to a Flex position instead of a dedicated TE. We can
still require everybody draft 2 TE, but owners can play BPA at
that position on game day. Would that not be like the NFL,
where a TE may or may not take every snap, but instead, only the
players needed for the particular play are in?

Then no one would take TE's until the very end of the draft with
no intention of ever using them. I personally like the strategy
of having to decide based on what is left on the board do I pull
the trigger now and get a top TE while passing up on a decent WR
or do I take the WR this round and take my chances there will
still be a decent TE left when my pick comes around again.
I would say there are probably 3 really good fantasy TE's then
probably another 5 that aren't too bad. Then you have all of
the other guys. So half the teams get a worthy TE.
I prefer having to play a TE but will not bitch if we do away
with it.

Lets keep our draft the way it is.
But on GAME DAY...open up the option of rotating in one player
on your team that gives you the best chance.
With the FLEX you could start 3 RB's...but that would have to
be subtracted from somwhere.
You could start 2 TE's but once again it would have to be
subtracted from somwhere.
I understand the idea is to get around the TE...
but keep two of them on the team and draft accordingly.
You may never use your TE's the whole season...but that applys
to us all.

Sounds OK to me.

That is pretty much what taking that 3rd starting WR and
changing that position to a flex position would do.
Instead of a starting squad of:
[list]
[li]QB[/li]
[li]RB[/li]
[li]RB[/li]
[li]WR[/li]
[li]WR[/li]
[li]WR[/li]
[li]TE[/li]
[li]K[/li]
[li]D/ST[/li]
[/list]
Your starting line up would be:
[list]
[li]QB[/li]
[li]RB[/li]
[li]RB[/li]
[li]WR[/li]
[li]WR[/li]
[li]TE[/li]
[li]FLEX (RB, WR, TE ONLY)[/li]
[li]K[/li]
[li]D/ST[/li]
[/list]
This way the draft will remain the same and the number of
players that have to be on the roster for each position can
remain the same. The only difference is you can use all three
RB's on your team if you want to sit 2 out of 4 WR's you
drafted.

How many keepers? Still three or up it to four?

If we allow a team to keep 4 then they would sacrafice their
first round pick.
