[Finnegans Wake]

Gotta say, don't like losing, esp. with the week Rodgers had, going into MNF with the most league points and ~18 lead, but damn, that was one exciting week of FF.  Hope to see the Chix in the post-season for some revenge!

[pensodyssey]

FWIW I think 85 percent of all fantasy leagues will be won by Brady, Rodgers or Brees owners, barring injury natch.  Those guys are pinballing this year.     

[Spen]

I'd like to suggest that the benches be shortened next season, maybe even the lineups by a spot or two. In a 12 team league 8 bench spots is a ton. When there is an injury there is no one worthwhile to pick up.
Thats the reason I suck. Not bad picks.

[pensodyssey]

I agree, short both the benches and the starting lineups, maybe a return to the 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr 1 te we started out with.  Too many flex positions as it is.

[jonzr]

Considered and REJECTED.

[jonzr]

No really though, we can shorten the bench and maybe drop a flex position.  Thinking about just 1 keeper too.

[jonzr]

Or 0 keepers?

[pensodyssey]

Keepers are fine IMO. The supplemental draft more than makes up for it.  I'm fine with one or two.

[Spen]

I think the keepers are fine. The great players are all going to be kept or drafted early. I think shortening the benches and possibly the lineups would allow for some more productive roster moves during the season.
According to my calculations if our benches were 4 player shorter my record would be 7-4-1.
