My team, The Bryce is Right, faces Swickles's Will Muschamp's Therapist with the winner moving to 4-0. LeeMajors's undefeated squad takes on Kayakyakr's bye-riddled 3-0 team.

We've got a unique situation unfolding regarding kayakyakr's team and editing league rules to conform to a request.

Kayak would like to have the min/max number of active/reserve players adjusted so that a player can set less players on Active and more on Reserve. An example of this would be, for example, dropping an active DST to picking up an additional WR/RB to sit on the bench.

As it stands now, we have a 9 player (min and max) limit for starting active rosters. Anything less than 9 is set up as an illegal lineup.

In addition, any reserve lineup greater than 5 is also an illegal lineup.

I don't really see how it's abusable. Being able to not play a kicker or defense or tightend is common in most fantasy football leagues I've done.

I guess as long as there's a gentleman's agreement to keep it sensible (Something like you have to have at least 1 starter at each position, and no carrying like 8 QBs) I'm fine with it.

I'd be a lot more comfortable with this change if we had every unowned player on WW, which I plan on implementing next year (and forgot to do in the preseason this year). Keeping all FAs on the WW evens out the playing field for those who are not as active on games, Fantrax stats, or player news.

This, pretty much. Make this a rule in 2015, not halfway through 2014. It's a pretty significantly different strategy if we can do this.

e: ^^ is it that different and what does it allow you to do that you would actually want to do? Only thing I can see is it lets me absorb the injury a bit better. Gives me about a 20 point boost, on average, trading kicker for RB/WR.

This is the first league I've been in where this is an issue. You have a limited number of players you can play, that doesn't change. Someone may try to stockpile WR's or QB's but that's not really doing them too much good because they can still only play 3.

Also wouldn't be too much of an issue if there was an Injured Reserve. But basically, with the smaller reserve size, if you have a player that's going to be out 4-6 weeks, you are (ie I am) screwed if ever bye weeks line up while your player is out.

I'll take my loss, I had planned on taking a loss this week anyway. I just don't anyone to be angry at me for not making an honest effort.

I'm ok with this as long as it's a quick turnaround WW. Clears at the end of the day or something like that. That way it does encourage people to be active, just doesn't give those that are very active a huge leg up.

And while we're there, maybe just a simple max roster size and max active size, no limits otherwise? That way in case someone does need to drop their kicker in order to start a full bank of RB's, they can?

I like injured reserve or just a slightly bigger roster for reserves I guess. Part of team building is managing byes and I drafted accordingly. I have every reserve player on bye this week and I dropped a Vols receiver when he got hurt but I hope to grab him again later if practice reports are favorable.

I can see going with no kicker or tight end because of byes since they score lower on average. Anything past that is questionable.

I had it all set up to do that too, prior to my #1 RB going down. I don't trust you chucklefucks to not have someone pick him up if I dropped him. An injured reserve would help, though.

If we're trying to prevent someone from benching their entire roster, I guess? But why would anyone do that?

I draft based on limiting the amount of byes that overlap, so its kind of not fair to change the rules mid season, otherwise I would have draftee a lot differently.

I wasn't even aware we had a min active set up, but if it was a widely known thing I guess it doesn't make sense to change in the middle of the season. The reserve roster is small though, and I'd support next year either increasing it by one or adding 1 'injured reserve' slot if that's technically possible on fantrax.

It's possible. I looked to see if we had an injured reserve when my guy went down. I wouldn't be opposed to having an injured reserve slot at all.

I do like the small reserve because I enjoy the roster churn. Means that aside from your key starters, everyone is usually forced to do a bit of free agency to make bye weeks work.

Yeah, its weird to change midseason because someone has a bad situation on his roster--you just have to deal with it.

I don't oppose this rule change if it happens next season.

If you're afraid of losing your RB, you'll have to keep him on your roster and drop someone less important, I reckon.

It's only a problem because it lines up with my bye week for my top 2 receivers, #2 RB, defense, and QB. I could fix it with a trade, but I'm such a homer for these two receivers that I don't think I can bring myself to do it >_<.
