CBS will not let me reduce the size of the league, and we will all be sent to different unfilled leagues at draft time. We are switching to Yahoo. I'm sorry for the last minute change, but CBS is the shits. They want fees for any type of decent league, which would have been fine. However, Yahoo will do all of this for free and is perfectly suitable. This will be the same amount of work to trash the other league and create a new one by paying for CBS. I have everyone's email, and you'll be getting an invite soon. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Only 2 minor quibbles on scoring/roster. It shows 4 active WR per team instead of 2. Just wondering if that is intentional as 4 WR and a flex seems like alot. Also QB TDs are only 4 pts instead of 6. I know some leagues are like that but I personally hate it - really lowers QB value and mathematically doesn't make sense.
I am good with whatever is decided, but that plays into draft strategery.
Thanks again for taking the lead on this DropIn.

As soon as Hawg Jr. signs up, I will be able to change the draft order. I don't know how much time they give me leading up to the draft, so make sure it's done when possible. Thanks. |

Thanks again for taking the lead on this DropIn. Good catch on the WR deal. See what I did there? I have no idea how it got to four. It has been adjusted to two. The third receiver slot is replaced by the RB/WR/TE flex spot. I usually go with the four point touchdown scoring for quarterbacks, and it was the default setting. I'd be willing to change if that's what the majority wants. |

QB TDs should stay at 4. An average QB nowadays is throwing 30 a year.

I understand lowering in a PPR league as then QB numbers get really inflated - but in a standard scoring league just seems to unnecessarily lower QB value. And I'll shut up about it now  |

Still have not gotten it and there is nothing we can do as we will not be home until at least 7:45 tonight. |

One last dickhead observation on my part - probably have 1 if not 2 roster spots we need to trim down. 8 bench slots is alot.

This is true. 6 is standard I believe. 7 is a good compromise.

I'd like to be on record as going the exact opposite of whatever ref says. Other than thanking Drop In for doing all of this.

If the rosters are too small, you can pickup a near replacement level player off the waiver wire at almost anytime. This requires a little more strategery. |

Not sure why I never did get the original emails, but aol blows so who knows. I'm in and looking forward to about my 30th season of Fantasy Football. My first year was 1980 and I've unfortunately missed the last few, so thank you very much for inviting me.

My 10 team draft from yesterday had 17 roster spots. I think it's fairly standard.

Ahh..thank you for explaining the 4 points for QB TDs. I was wondering why all the draft rankings had non QBs first. Now I get it. In most fantasy leagues I've been in, where QB TDs were 6 points, QBs were most of the first rounds.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were too late to change draft order. Apparently you'll find out where you're drafting when the draft opens up around 8:40. Some will be happy.

Drop In, can you switch around the schedule so that I don't have to play Coast first?

Some will be happy. Dammit Drop In!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It said changes can be made approximately one hour prior to the draft. I hit the finalize teams button literally 27 seconds after you signed up. Not your fault. I wish I would have just used Yahoo from the beginning. In a ten team league, there really isn't a bad draft spot. |
