Don't know how much football will happen, but the league has auto-renewed.

As the reigning [/defending] B8 Fantasy Football League Champion... I strongly nominate that we move the league to Sleeper this year, especially because they just added COVID-19 specific player designations and the ability to add IR spots specific to COVID-19 players.

This is correct.

Sleeper can fully mimic everything on Yahoo, including the ridiculous concept of dropping benched players after their game has started.

I have another draft on Saturday already

Are we just rolling this on Yahoo or can we discuss a platform change to something like Sleeper that allows COVID-19 IR spots?

[rather, to a platform that doesn't let you just drop your already played bench players and rotate lottery ticket RBs all weekend]

Tbh I am fine voting on those things now (or whenever, really) for next year, but when we're getting set up a week before the season starts and most people's hearts aren't at all in it (due to covid or whatever else), I think you've missed the boat on it this year.
(That said, if Suprak responded when you @'d nearly three weeks ago, probably would've been different yeah)

@beavis666x2 was it you that always knew all the people off the top of your head? There are several people here who use their normal names on sign in and I'm not 100% sure who they are.

UP FOR A VOTE:
1) Platform change
2) FAAB Waivers instead of Rolling Waivers
3) IR Spots for IR and COVID-19 players
4) [additional IDP slots]

Yay/nay for each plz.

You get some set amount of $ at the start of the season. Waivers are done via a bid process instead of via priority order. Free Agents cost $0

I strongly suggest you rethink the IR question. This isn't baseball, guys.

It allows you to stash stars or viable players instead of making tough decisions of what is more important the now or the then. That's a lot of the point of fantasy football. It can significantly reduce the viable waiver pool.

  1. Yes. I will always highly tout Sleeper for its awesome chat functionality, plethora of options, and the fact that you can set it to not be able to drop bench players.
  2. FAAB. This is just better- it keeps you from being hamstrung and feeling like you can't even make a simple claim for a streaming defense when you have the number one priority. Everyone starts out [almost exactly] evenly, and it adds a layer of budget management to the season.
  3. Platform Specific; Since Yahoo lets you drop bench players, this makes Derrick Henry getting COVID at 10 PM in Denver Week 1 not be a huge issue, since you can just drop a bench dude. Other platforms after this year, I'd probably also echo Corrik's thoughts, unless COVID persists to the '21 season.
  4. Yes- Single IDP position starters are pretty meaningless. I feel like last year I ended up with top 3 IDP production just but playing waivers each week because there were so many, so there was no reason for me to hold onto [the number 5 LB] through their bye week and drop a RB when I could just pick up [the number 13 LB] and not miss any production.

That's a fair argument on 4, Nana. But, I'd argue moreso for eliminating IDPs. They are usually very randomly balanced and most leagues with the way they are set up makes you just look for tackling machines because they end up being the highest point scorers period. I could pick random ass middle linebacker #13 and get more points than an absolute superstar at another position because of how tackling is usually scored, etc.

I literally won the league last year off of Donald fucking Payne at LB for weeks 15 and 16.

  1. Yes, but probably too late
  2. Sure? I don't really care
  3. Only if it's really limited amount of slots for COVID. I mean, if you have Mahomes and Kelce, and they both have to go through quarantine process, then you don't want to lose both of them. But if people actually catch it, they'll be out for a while, and it's better to mostly move on.
  4. Cut IDP

Also I would like to reiterate the importance of shortening benches if we add IR slots. I think that would clear up Corrik and Nanahara's doubts about the IR slot in general.

Honestly I think the implementation of that should probably be +1 IR slot, -1 Bench slot, with maybe a second Covid-specific slot for this year only

Aw I like IDP

that said it probably gives the people that are able to make draft a huge advantage that removing it seems fair

I could try FAAB now that I think about it, makes waivers less of a crap shoot and probably more aggressive

I mean I'm fine putting that up to a vote too if wanted.

All of Nana's changes were voted down last year actually (except the COVID/IR one). I'm fine with votes every year. I wasn't even sure I was going to run the league this year with all the craziness, but people still seemed interested so figured might as well.
